+ I'm running windows 2000 Professional on an intel P3.
+ 
+ I downloaded and installed ant 1.2 binary distribution exactly according to the documantation except that I added c:\ant\bin\ to my path instead of %ANT_HOME\bin\
+ 
+ when I run ant (c:\>ant) I get a java usage message.
+ C:\> ant
+ Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
+            (to execute a class)
+    or  java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...]
+            (to execute a jar file)
+ 
+ where options include:
+     -cp -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
+               set search path for application classes and resources
+     -D<name>=<value>
+               set a system property
+     -verbose[:class|gc|jni]
+               enable verbose output
+     -version  print product version
+     -? -help  print this help message
+     -X        print help on non-standard options
+ 
+ What gives?
