Starting up j2ee and EJB deployment tool on Windows 98

Question

I will start off this question with an apology if it is too stupid,
basic, or placed in the wrong group. I am relatively new to the world
of Java and even newer to the world of Server-side Java and EJBs.
However, I am plugging away.
I am using my trusty 4 year old system with Windows 98 second edition
to dabble with Server-side Java and EJB applications. I am using
Tomcat 4.0 as my server. When I try and start the j2ee server or the
EJB deployment tool I get the following scrolling messages:
Out of environment space

Out of environment space
Bad command or file name
I have tried to adjust the memory settings in the DOS window with no
success. My question has three parts:
1) Can these applications be run using Windows 98 and if so what are
the exact DOS window memory settings for this?
2) Where exactly can I find the documentation that specifies this?
(please be specific as possible as I have read the readme.txt files
supplied with j2ee)
3) Should this and similar questions be posted in another
group/section?
I truly appreciate anyone's help with this.
Sincerely,
Tim

Answer 1

You're going to have a lot of pain unless you upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP.
In the mean time, set your environment size much larger (google for "Out of
environment space") and use WinOne from http://www.cia.com.au/luke/ ...
that's how I scraped by on Windows 98 for a while.
