Sounds like a threat... phasers on stun!
You're right... you don't have a grasp on CLASSPATH. Try:
export
CLASSPATH=/home/public/jre/lib/rt.jar:/home/public/jre/lib/i18n.jar:etc
etc
And, of course, "etc etc" must point at the proper location to find
*your* classes.
For what its worth, JDK1.2 simplifies setting the CLASSPATH -- it
doesn't make you include all of the core system classes in the
CLASSPATH. But that's another story...
