Cool.

O.K., I can see /webdav with a browser, but I can't see it using the 
cadaver or DAV Explorer.  Which obvious thing am I missing?  ;)

 ... and so on. 

Oh, shoot!  I just tried IE5 from an NT box and it worked!  I opened
a web folder at http://memes.sea.boeing.com:8080/webdav/.  Even
dragged some html files to it.  (On my tomcat 'readonly' is 
commented out.)  A nearby (supposedly) identical NT box says 
"Could not open ... as a web folder.  ... default?"

IE5 on one Win '98 works, another seemingly identical does not.  
cadaver on memes fails consistently.  What the heck?  ;)

I'm trying to isolate the differences in the Wintel boxes.
