RE: [Plplot-devel] Java examples don't work for me

Geoffrey, you may have misunderstood me since you talk about eliminating
packages which is a phrase I certainly did not use.  I am actually asking
for something quite simple.

That was one of my points.  I did such experiments with my hello_world
programme and it empirically appears that you cannot have slashes in the
name of the class file you invoke in java 1.1.8. For that version it appears
you *must*

setenv CLASSPATH x/y; java z

rather than

setenv CLASSPATH .; java x/y/z.

Why can't we set things up so our examples are invoked the first way (which
is also the way I have seen all classic java demo programmes invoked).

That is all I am asking.
