There is a bug in ant.bat of Ant 1.5.1 with regard to the Win95/98/ME. It is 
to do with the existence checks.

Change this line
     if exist "%ANT_HOME%" goto checkJava
to
     if exist "%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant.jar" goto checkJava

The fact that SystemDrive is not defined does not prevent the script working 
(with the above change).

This will be fixed in Ant 1.5.2

If any Win95/98/ME users can confirm this fix, that would be good.

Thanks
Conor
