Allowing spaces in directory and file names was a nutty idea which
has cost more over time than the Iraq war and current financial debacle
combined. It should be re-regulated.

See, there is another one, from another thread further down :
quote
The problem was introduced, because in order to allow paths with spaces
in them, a lot of quotation marks were added to the startup script, and
that's what made the difference.
unquote
Aiming at the Dawkins Award thus, I am thinking of starting a parallel
Tomcat distribution called the "ProgramFiles/TheApacheFoundation/Tomcat"
distribution.

Considering what is happening in the world at large, I don't think that
such an award could be attributed annually though, nor with any kind of
regularity. Considering how easily they spread and how difficult they
are to eradicate, it would even seem that bad ideas procure some kind of
selective advantage (an increase in fertility for example).

Maybe there should be a Dawkins award, for people who successfully
removed bad ideas from the meme pool.

Ok, got it, thanks. Too late for me though.

(I'll assume the above is sarcastic, and not meant to be factual. A couple of trillion dollars is a lot of money, regardless of the exchange rate.)
Actually, spaces have been allowed in file names since reasonably early in UNIX history; however, since UNIX users back then were smarter than the average Microsoft, spaces and other odd characters were avoided unless obfuscation was desired. The nutty idea wasn't allowing spaces but instead requiring their use for any and all normal activities - for that Microsoft should be awarded the opposite of the Nobel peace prize.

Hi Guys ,
I take the space out ...type command
C:\>set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07 (the path of java JDK
not JRE )
After that I dragged the catalina.bat file to the cmd.exe
C:\>"D:\QQ setup exe\tomcat\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\bin\catalina.bat"
I typed "enter" run it ....then it says ...
CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly....
Thank you for your help.....

And yet, as Charles pointed out, it's not a problem for the genius
Tomcat developers! (Re-read his message - the problem is a space in
the *name* of the env variable, not the directory. All of us Windows
users have no problem with Java being installed in the default
"Program Files" directory.)
