------------------------------------

Thanks Mark. The file n-cyg-resolver.log is the case which you described in 
email that the entity resolver doesn't work to get the local copies of DTDs, so 
Ant goes to the network to retrieve the DTDs. The reason that it fails at 
linking.xml is that it has a broken System Identifier, i.e. 
apache.org/forrest/dtd/... rather than forrest.apache.org/dtd/... Anyway, that 
doesn't matter. We need the resolver to work for the local DTDs.

One thing that i do not understand is why it says:
validate-xdocs:
dropping C:\src\forrest\lib\endorsed\*.jar from path as it doesn't exist
...
It should definitely exist - that is in your $FORREST_HOME. Anyway leaving that 
aside ...

Would you now please do 'forrest -debug validate-xdocs' ... and attach the log. 
That causes Ant to give even more info about the catalog resolver.

> Use by Ant of newer catalog entity resolver failing for Windows
