True. That was a (too) strong assumption. Thanks for pointing that out.

Believe me, it is: I recently installed jdk-1.2.2 on my NT4 machine, and
Java tools refused to work from my bash prompt because I had CLASSPATH
defined on my .bashrc with UNIX-like pathnames separated by ":". When I
changed it to M$-style paths and ";" among pathnames, it all worked.
