RUNNING.txt should be in the directory where you unpacked Tomcat 5.5.

Here's the relevant snippet from RUNNING.txt:

====================================
Running Tomcat With J2SE Version 1.4
====================================

(1) Obtain the compat package:

(1.1) Download the compat package from the binary download site:
      http://tomcat.apache.org

      * Or build this package yourself from the source code: see 
        "BUILDING.txt" in this directory.

(2) Unzip the package in $CATALINA_HOME.  It will place the XML
    parser APIs and Xerces implementation in the common/endorsed
    directory, and the JMX API jar (jmx.jar from Sun) in the bin
    directory.

(3) Follow the same directions for starting and stopping the
    server as if you were using J2SE 5.0.

AFAIK there are no limitations caused by running Tomcat 5.5 with JDK 1.4.
