The "gotCatalinaHome" and "gotCatalinaBase" labels in the "catalina.bat" batch 
program are indistinguishable for Windows 98 since it appears that Windows 
9?/Me only uses the first 8 characters of labels.

This causes "catalina.bat" not to work for at least Windows 98 and maybe even 
Me (don't know about XP which is coming out at the end of the month).

Solution would be to simply rename "gotCatalinaHome" and "gotCatalinaBase" to 
something else where the first 8 characters are different (e.g., "gotCatHome" 
and "gotCatBase" worked).

Note that this issue occurs for Jasper's "jspc.bat" batch program as well 
(the "gotJasperHome" and "gotJasperbat" labels).
