When I started fop I got an error about class "and" not being defined. After poking around a bit I found the problem was the fop.bat script. It was trying to execute java -cp C:\Documents and settings\james\... and it iterpreted "and" as the class to execute, and threw the error. My patch was to quote the classpath in fop.bat, that is: change java -cp %LOCALCLASSPATH% org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 to java -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 perhaps that breaks something in W9x, I haven't checked.
