If you look through the tomcat.bat file, after the :runServer you will
see

echo Using classpath: %CLASSPATH%
start java %TOMCAT_OPTS% -Dtomcat.home="%TOMCAT_HOME%" ...snipped

That start never worked for me (on Win98 although).  The start spawns a
new
dosbox that _does not_ get a copy of the current environment variables.
I
remove the "start" and it all works fine.  Like this tomcat runs in the
current shell that has all the SET statements the scripts just defined.

Try it, you may like it.
