I'm trying to install Tomcat on my PC with Windows 98 (second edition).
==============================
My autoexex.bat:
@C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVDX.EXE /Startup
@ECHO OFF
PATH=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\ibmtools;c:\;C:\MSSQL7\BINN
LH DOSKEY
SET PATH=c:\jdk1.3\bin;c:\jdk1.3\lib;%PATH%
SET
CLASSPATH=.;c:\jdk1.3\bin;c:\jdk1.3\lib;c:\tomcat\bin;c:\tomcat\lib;c:\CoreJav
aBook
rem SET
CLASSPATH=c:\CoreJavaBook;c:\jdk1.3\bin;c:\jdk1.3\lib;c:\tomcat\bin;c:\tomcat\
lib
SET TOMCAT_HOME=c:\tomcat
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3
C:\essolo.com
************** There is the outcome of my efforts:
C:\tomcat\bin>startup <ENTER>
"Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Unable to set CLASSPATH dynamically.
Note: To set the CLASSPATH dynamically on Win9x systems
only DOS 8.3 names may be used in TOMCAT_HOME!
Setting your CLASSPATH statically.

**********************
C:\tomcat\doc\uguide\tomcat_ug.html - some basic information about Tomcat
(an excerpt):
"As you can see, the Win32 version of tomcat.bat is not as robust as the Unix
one. Especially, it does not guess the values of JAVA_HOME and only tries
"." as a guess for TOMCAT_HOME. It can build CLASSPATH dynamically, but not
in all cases. It can not build CLASSPATH dynamically if TOMCAT_HOME contains
spaces, or on Win9x, if TOMCAT_HOME contains non-8.3 directory names."
=====================
My friend has installed Tomcat on his PC with Windows'98 successfully using
the same instructions as
myself. However, I'm put in a spot by the above mentioned Note about
TOMCAT_HOME and DOS 8.3 names...
What's wrong with my autoexec.bat?
There was a suggestion to set environmental space variable
(ENVIRONMENTAL_SPACE ?) in the Windows'98 �2nd edition. However, I do not
know what is the correct syntax of that setting.
Please advise me.
Thanks, Vlad
