Change directory to jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1 and set a new environment 
variable (TOMCAT_HOME) to point to the root directory of your Tomcat hierarchy.
This I don t understand.  Are they talking about doing this in 
autoexec.bat or in the tomcat.bat file?

In autoexec.bat



On Win32 you should type:
set TOMCAT_HOME=foo\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1
Again, are they talking about within autoexec.bat or someplace else?

In autoexec.bat



  Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to the root directory of 
 your JDK hierarchy...
Where is the environment variable JAVA HOME located?

In autoexec.bat


 then add the Java interpreter to your PATH environment variable.
How does one do this?

In autoexec.bat (!)

The basic syntax:
set MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=c:\path\to\whatever

and to add to the previously set variable

set MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=%MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE%;c:\path\to\whatever

Blimey, one I can answer, I think!

Yes. 
You canset these up in your autoexec.bat with something 
like:

set 
TOMCAT_HOME=c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1
set 
JAVAHOME=c:\jdk1.3.1
set 
PATH=c:\jdk1.3.1\bin

However, I'm not at home so I don't have my Win98 box in front of me but 
I think you need to provide the 8.3 DOS names here so it will become something 
like:


set 
TOMCAT_HOME=c:\jakarta~1

To be sure of the file names do a dir in a 
dos box.

  W.-How Do I Install the 
  Binary Version of Tomcat?Very simple. You should:Download 
  the zip/tar.gz/whatever file from http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html.Ive done this and everything went 
  fine.Unpack the file into some directory (say foo). 
  This should create a new subdirectory named "jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1". If it's 
  not where you want it, move this directory to the desired 
  location.///Did this and it went fine also./ 
  Change directory to "jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1" and set a 
  new environment variable (TOMCAT_HOME) to point to the root directory of your 
  Tomcat hierarchy.This I dont understand. Are they 
  talking about doing this in autoexec.bat or in the tomcat.bat 
  file?On Win32 you should type: "set 
  TOMCAT_HOME=foo\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1" Again, are they talking 
  about within autoexec.bat or someplace
