Hi Samantha,
up to Win98 Windows loads c:\autoexec.bat during startup. No
other autexec.bat is read. You can have more than one, but only
the one in c:\ is processed.
To run Tomcat you don't need the classpath variable as far as I
know. As long as you don't need it for other purposes don't set
it. In case you need it: I experienced that including . (dot -
the current directory) makes life much easier, like for instance
set classpath=.;d:\java
For compiling webapps better use Ant or the facilities in your
IDE (I like Eclipse very much). In both cases you don't need to
set the classpath variable.

Hi everyone
Thanks to those who offered assistance for the 'out of
environment space'
mesg... it works ! :-)
Would I have to set classpaths or is this done automatically on
installation ? I reason I ask is because I see I have 2 autoexec.bat
files on my machine.. one on c:\autoexec.bat and the other under
c:\tomcat\autoexec.bat ... presumably one should only have one
autoexec.bat file! I think I have 2 separate versions because I
installed a different version of Tomcat on my machine and the
autoexec.bat file was on that cd when I copied it across . I viewed the
c:\tomcat\autoexec.bat file and decided to move the 'SET classpath'
settings to the c:\autoexec.bat file , and it had disasterous
consequences ...couldn't load Win98 !
I managed to salvage my machine , and restored the autoexec.bat
files to
their original format .
The question is one supposed to have more than one autoexec.bat
file and
can I put all the
settings in one file (I noticed that both files differ quite
drastically) .
Thanks
Samantha
