I know that you can change CLASSPATH in the startup scripts or on the command line, as well as other things. My point was that, out of the box, if you execute startup.bat or startup.sh, an environment variable named CLASSPATH isn't going to do much. Since a large portion of the traffic on the list is from folks just trying to install and run Tomcat to do/learn JSP and servlet development, and the poster originally mentioned NT, I assumed that they were probably interested in a default, lowest-common-denominator answer. Probably a bad assumption.
