RE: [Aimmath-developers] Change to Servlet.mpl

[Neil S. <N.P...@sh...>]

I think that these scripts were genuinely needed for Tomcat 3, but 
probably not for Tomcat 4 (although I still used them out of habit)
and certainly not for Tomcat 5 (which I'm now using although it's
a beta release).  I propose that we ignore Tomcat 3, so we can 
probably discard the scripts.
