Subject: Re: how-to specify Java runtime options -Xmx128m,
 w/ Tomcat 4 as Win2k service

the script given below worked for me, as a .bat file, where the environment
variables were substituted with literal directory paths, on a win2k
(professional) os (sp4), and jdk 1.4.2.
  note: the tomcat.exe file specified in the script below only gets copied
to the /bin directory of Tomcat if specify during install to install Tomcat
as a service.  I copied this file into /bin directory from first install,
then ran .bat file.

i am thankful for the help.
