set path for Win98

I cannot seem to set the path on my PC.

I set it at the autoexec.bat as:

path=c:\jdk1.3\bin
classpath=c:\jdk1.3\bin

but it doesn't show up when I type: path

I also tried: path=%path%; c:\jdk1.3\bin

Itsometime shows too many parameters or accept it but nothing else happen.

Please advice.

Thank you

You need to set it in your environment variables. BTW don't but a space between
the ';' and the next path value.

There limitations in Windows for the path and classpath variables. I would
be best to run things from a command line (bat or script) and set the variables
as needed there.

Do you know why Win98 doesn't permit the following (yet NT does!)

set JAXP=-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryIm pl

This is needed to run JBoss in NT and I am trying to get it running under
Win98.

Cheers.

in win98 on follow these steps
1) in start menu click on "run"
2) check that autoexec.bat file is configuring when system starts or not
if it is not then set that variable in checkbox
u can set path in dosprompt also
after entering in the autoexec.bat file
on dos prompt enter autoexec.bat
it will run
if this not working
in the dos prompt enter the path
it will definitely works
