Ok - shouldn't make any difference where the source file is (I assume that
by servlet.java you mean the servlet you are trying to compile).
you should have something like:
SET CLASSPATH=c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b7\common\lib\servlet.jar
javac servlet.java
the only other thing I can think of is windows and long filenames might be
having arguments... a windows person might be better equipped to answer
that...

with the other projects... do you have any long filenames?
I suppose that getting _really_ paranoid, something like:
cd \
C:\> mkdir test
C:\> cd test
C:\test\> copy c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b7\common\lib\servlet.jar .
C:\test\> copy _your_servlet_ .
C:\test\> SET CLASSPATH=servlet.jar
C:\test\> javac _your_servlet_
should work.... mind you thats _very_ ridiculous and over the top, but if
the problem is the long filenames, then it will get around it....
