[Anthill] Anthill on z/OS USS

William,

1) Look like it is trying to process Anthill/projects/anthill.registry 
which is a plain text ascii file as well. I should have caught that the 
first time around.

2) I'm not quite sure what you mean. Essentially, the first time you 
launch Anthill it should create a .anthill.anthill.properties file in 
the root directory of the tomcat user with the path to the Anthill base 
directory that is entered by the user. Subsequently, it uses that path 
to find the Anthill files.

Cheers,

Eric
