Environment: Windows 98, JDK 1.4.1, Maven 1.0-beta-7 (which isn't an option in the version list above)

Description:
D:\JavaApps\xdoclet\xdoclet>set
...
JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Javasoft\j2sdk\1.4.1
ANT_HOME=c:\progra~1\jakarta\ant-1.5
MAVEN_HOME=c:\progra~1\jakarta\maven-1.0-beta-7
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\UTILS;C:\EMTEX;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\J2SDK\1.4.1\BIN;C:\PROGRA~1\JAKARTA\ANT-1.5\BIN;C:\PROGRA~1\JAKARTA\MAVEN-1.0-BETA-7\BIN
D:\JavaApps\xdoclet\xdoclet>maven
ERROR: MAVEN_HOME not found in your environment.
Please, set the MAVEN_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of the Maven installation

It *is* set.  Why doesn't it see it?
I didn't have this problem with beta 6; I've updated the batch file to avoid the Set MAVEN_OPTS lines having two equals signs (which Win98 can't handle), but it's not even reaching that far.

I even added echo "MAVEN_HOME"="%MAVEN_HOME%" after the "Look for MAVEN_HOME" REM statement, and got

D:\JavaApps\xdoclet\xdoclet>maven
"MAVEN_HOME"="c:\progra~1\jakarta\maven-1.0-beta-7"
ERROR: MAVEN_HOME not found in your environment.
Please, set the MAVEN_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of the Maven installation

Perhaps any string 'equals' "" in Windows 98's IF command?
