Hi John

I have copied and pasted your classes, and they work just fine on my
PC (once the dice/aDice error is corrected as someone pointed out
already).

When you compile the DiceCon.java file, is the folder that contains it
(and Dice.java) your current folder? Or have you moved to the folder
with javac.exe in? My setup is to run a batch file when I want to use
java in the cmd console; the batch file changes the path so that the
javac.exe file will be found automatically, whichever folder I am
currently in. If you don't do that, you have to address you files by
their folder names all the time, and (as in your case) the classes
cannot "see" one another. In case this is your problem, my batch file
looks like this (you will have to adapt it):
-----------------------------
@echo off
c:
cd\
cd jdk1.3.1
path = %path%;c:\jdk1.3.1\bin
echo path set
echo use edit CName.java
echo use javac CName.java
echo use java CName
echo use edit HName.html
echo use appletViewer HName.html
doskey /insert
-----------------------------------
