Brian,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have 3.0 installed, but still have
problems after adding
"'s to the paths.

I seemed to make progress on the second try, but the command parser seemed
to choke on the third.

History of cummulative changes to curn.bat so far:

--------- first ----------------
Tried putting "'s around the path on this line:
-classpath "C:\Program Files\clapper.org\curn\lib\curnboot.jar" ^

--- result ----
C:\Java>curn
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Files\clapper/org\curn

----------- second -------------------------------------
put "'s on the path on this line:
set JAVA_VM_ARGS=-Dcurn.home="C:\Program Files\clapper.org\curn"

-- result -- (progress!)

C:\Java>curn
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

tried putting "'s on paths on following lines:

Richard,

The CLASSPATH is set in the curn.bat file. However, it looks to me like a
simple .bat file quoting issue--one I didn't hit because (a) I typically run
curn on Linux, and (b) when I install curn for testing on Windows, I don't
typically install it under C:\Program Files. I'm betting the space in the
"Program Files" folder name is screwing up the invocation of the Java
executable; it needs to be quoted in the .bat file. (That's my fault.)

Try that. If it fixes the problem, please let me know. (And, of course, if
it
doesn't fix the problem, please let me know, too.)

You didn't mention the version of curn that you're using; I'm assuming it's
3.0.

Regards,
