Richard, the problem you are having has nothing to do with Jacl. This is 
a Java CLASSPATH issue. You need to setup the
CLASSPATH env var before invoking javac so that both jacl.jar and 
tcljava.jar appear on the CLASSPATH. You should be able
to just download the binary Jacl release and use it as is. Please post 
another message if you are still having problems after the
CLASSPATH is setup properly.
