watch out for this land mine

if you run under windows and install your JDK in "Program Files" you may 
end up getting this message:

:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1>bin\catalina run
Using CATALINA_BASE:   .
Using CATALINA_HOME:   .
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: .\temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       c:\progra~1\jdk1.3
[INFO] Registry - -Loading registry information
[INFO] Registry - -Creating new Registry instance
java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot find the path specified
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:110)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:115)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:57)


I reinstalled the JDK in the top (C:\ ) directory and the problem dissapeared without reinstalling tomcat 4.

Just in case someone else runs into this ...

In general, Java is not terribly happy with directory names than contain 
spaces.
