Hi Al,
First of all: good thing you started off with Java, especially using Linux.
Just a tip. You do realize that Java has a Date class similar to the one
you've written, don't you? It's in the package java.util, docs are online
at:
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.uti
Sounds like you have a classpath problem which is common error
with newbies. The problem is that invocation of the java interpreter with
the classpath set to ".:~/:..." will use the current directory as the base
for
the search therefore the JVM will be looking for the class in the directory
/packa
... stuff removed...
