* If you use Windows 98 there are some problems with long path names, 
  long command lines and many parameters. To avoid these, insert the following 
  into the config.sys file: 
  SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:2048 /U:250 /p
  where C:\command.com has to be the path of your command.com file.
* Furthermore I found problems with the case of path names and JDK 1.3: Be sure, 
  that all path names in are in lower letters, like the package names. Although
  Windows 98 doesn't discriminate lower and capital names, JDK 1.3 does!
