QM,

I'll try the "experiment" that you suggested, but FYI, there are no .WAR
files in either the unzipped directories from just unzipping, or in any
subdirectories under my working [TOMCAT HOME].  If those extra .xml
files got created because of #1 above, would you expect to find some
files named .war?

Also, there are no directories named "META-INF" or files called
"context.xml".

I'll post back in a bit after I've tried the bit with changing the
Engine name...
