Chuck, Kudos to you, good buddy!!!!!
And the winning combination is..... JDK1.3.1 , J2SE download (ignore that it does not say Windows 98 anywhere, it is running EVERYTHING, and believe me, I checked) Tomcat 4.1.30 After very minor adjustments to the autoexec file, namely; pointing JAVA_HOME at the new JDK, and CATALINA_HOME at the Tomcat install directory, it fired up with no fuss at all. The probs , in a nutshell, were: Tomcat 4 would not work with JDK1.3.0, gave CLASSPATH probs, etc. Tomcat 3 had probs with coyote connector with either JDK, but when I coupled the above 'winning combo', set env, etc., it fired up rather quickly. Many thanks to all those that responded.

As I said before, do not download the J2EE package from Sun - you don't need it, and it can only mess up Tomcat execution. Just get the current J2SE SDK. > > - Chuck > > > THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
