java /usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/HelloWorld.class I am not sure if this will work on most systems. You need to run from the directory relative to any package statements or from the same directory if no package statements. In this case, you would cd /usr/lpp/jdk140/normal_j1 java -cp . HelloWorld
the -cp . will override the classpaths that are currently set or not set. you will still need the JAVA_HOME and PATH statements to java set. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
