HI Owen,

I downloaded tomcat and installed it, however, installing it didn't
create any script files in  /etc/rc.d/init.d

Would it be possible for you to create copies of these script files and
send them onto me.  I'd appreciate it. Just send them as an attachment
to ashiers@hfx.eastlink.ca

Thanks,

Alan
