Downloading Tomcat 3.2.1 would be a nice idea. You should go for the .zip-file. >The can anyone teel me how I must install them in my win98 system. If you download the Tomcat 3.2.1 zip-file and extract it to a folder you will find a doc-folder with the information you need. But beware - there's one tricky little thing which might confuse you, namely the limited environment-space in windows-shells. This results in some not-so-easy-to-figure-out errormessages when trying to start Tomcat the way the Tomcat documentations describes. You could, if you like, adjust the environment-space on your system and reboot and stuff, but there's a simpler way I learned earlier on this list. There's a Tomcat-launcher called JustGo you could get from http://www.geocities.com/jdrudnicki/ which makes starting Tomcat painless. Good Luck! Cato Førrisdahl
