Compiling and running the .java files with the Java Development Kit
First of all you should create a special folder (e.g. C:\OUTLINE) on your hard disk and then copy all of the workshop files into it. The Java Development Kit should be installed on your PC and both the current directory and the standard classes library should be included in a CLASSPATH variable. You can check this by opening a DOS window and typing:
C:\OUTLINE>set
The result should look something like this:
.
.
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.1.5\BIN
CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.1.5\lib
.
.
Within the new directory type:
C:\OUTLINE>javac *.java
This will compile the java files in the directory.
