Thanks for everyone's help.
Basically, I'm not sure what the exact error was since I've spent the day
changing little lines everywhere, but in the end what I did was:
1. uninstall everything and re-install... so I know I was starting fresh
2. I installed the Java SDK (which was only jdk1.2.2) and also installed the
JSWDK 1.0.1 (I didn't realize I needed both of these at first)
3. I set my CLASSPATH to point directly to the tools.jar file and the
servlet.jar file
Here I think was the clincher... NT, environment variables are read
different on system or user, right now I have CLASSPATH defined in both, not
sure which is the right one, but why mess with a working program?
Thanks for your help.

Dana,
What I had to do was set the CLASSPATH to d:\<serverroot>\lib\servlet.jar
Then all of my servlets compile, but for me there is a problem with this.
In fact I just posted my problem, which is titled "Trouble Compiling Apps
and Servlets???".
Problem is that because there is a classpath variable set, now I can not run
any of my apps without clobering the class path for that particular dos
window. It seems as though there should be an answer. Maybe that is the
answer. Let me know how it turns out.
