Shouldn't I be able to type "ant all" and have
examples work with Tomcat after following 
instructions in Pro JSP book? Are these
instructions accurate to the letter?

All I get when type "ant" ( which should
build according to build.xml file in
the directory per pgs. 722-723) are following 
errors (with first line repeated 8 times) :
--------------------------------------------------------------
'"c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\bin\lcp.bat"' is not recognized as an 
internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/tools/ant/Main
--------------------------------------------------------------

which directory for build.xml is being referenced
on pgs. 722-723? I put it in ".\webapps" ?

What follows is what I've done to "mimic
the book instruction" in the form of "diffs" 'tween working 
originals & the 4 changed config files:

I've tried to "hop-scotch" along through 
instructions and now Tomcat window does not 
stay up.  "tomcat" is still working but the 
console window which used to stay up just 
closes immediately after startup. There are several 
directories under TOMCAT_HOME ( which now include the 
Wrox Pro JSP examples) where these edited files 
exist( eg, build.xml & web.xml).

The book does not make clear which of these 
files are to be edited with the proposed edits
or even if these files are to be placed in 
yet another location in this directory structure.
And if it is clear, & I did what was stated, 
ant is not working to build examples.

Here are locations of build.xml:

/conf/build.xml
/doc/appdev/sample/build.xml
/webapps/build.xml
/webapps/projsp/appendixG/build.xml
/webapps/projsp/ [ch01-ch24 ] /build.xml

locations for web.xml:

/conf/web.xml
/doc/appdev/sample/etc/web.xml
/webapps/admin/WEB-INF/web.xml
/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml
/webapps/projsp/ [ch01-ch24] /etc/web.xml
/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
/webapps/test/WEB-INF/web.xml

My simple plea:  How do I put the config files &
 Wrox files & edits where they belong by hand:

Some things which would help me:

A.) Please send changes needed to be made to a
    pristene install of Tomcat ( which was working
    before ruining it based on guidelines from 
    pgs. 718-723 in book.  Provide no "choices" 
    in naming, alternatives, etc. Just send something
    which works. I'll accept names & alternative provided.
    Indicate WHICH files in WHICH directories
    need changes applied & where examples
    should go under $TOMCAT_HOME.  
Or 

B.) Send full un-snipped versions of these files
    which incorporate changes & where they should
    be placed such that when I try  "startup" for
    Tomcat, it will work again & allow book examples
    ( and previous default examples to work) & "ant"
     will work to build wrox examples.
or

C.) Send some combination of above that will 
    fix Tomcat and ant to work properly with
    wrox examples (& default Tomcat install examples).
or 

D.) 

  Zip up a working directory structure of $TOMCAT_HOME
  which I can unzip ( including Wrox examples ) 
  into my $TOMCAT_HOME.    
or

E.) 

 Zip up some working subset of the directory/file structure
  of where I  can unzip into place & then run "ant all" (or 
 whatever).

TIA!!!!
