On my eMac 700MHz 512Mb running 10.2.8 when I run Norton it tells me I
have a major issue with my B tree something or other and not being able
to run from my Norton CD (Scratched to high heaven) I seem to be stuck
is there really no way to repair it when it is the boot volume?

As bad as it sounds, you can get things back in order. Get yourself a copy of DiskWarrior version 3 or later and use that. Dump Norton, it causes more problems than it helps. It sounds like your directory was corrupted during the fixing process of Norton.
Have you tried running Disk Utility from your Jag install CD? If not insert this and go to the menu bar and choose the option to open disk utility and then repair the disk and repair permissions.
To help in the meantime until you get your copy of Alsoft's DiskWarrior do this to try to get the files your apps need to use linked back to the app:
In Terminal type:
Update_prebinding -verbose -root /
This will update the files an app needs to have associated to it and upon
pressing enter the Terminal window will spew out a whole lot of data (don't
panic!) just let it go and after a few minutes (5 to 15 approx) it will
return a command line prompt.
