I am using Win98, because I love XML Spy and have an under-powered laptop, not because I love Win98 ;-)
To extend DOS a bit, I use JPSoft's 4DOS command line shell - much more flexibility. The batch files don't seem to work for me because of a 255-character limit that DOS has, the LOCALCLASSPATH exceeds that when the batch files are used. What I did to hack a fix, was to add a few lines to the start of the batch file, that look for a file "D:\D\1.JAR" - if that file is not present, it takes each file in D:\xindice\java\lib, renames it in a sequence (1.jar, 2.jar, etc...) and puts it into D:\D. Then, I build the CLASSPATH variable using the renamed .jar files (the original .jar files are untouched). This allows me to get Xindice running under Win98. If anyone is interested, I can post the batch file mods later (they are on my laptop) - however, they are only valid for 4DOS, as I use their extended variables & @eval() function. I'd bet a similar method could be used under vanilla DOS, though.
