*LOL* small world, I'm currently learning java with the same book by Walter
Savitch! I think I know what your problem is too. Have you checked to make
sure teh SavitchIn.java source file is in the current directory that you're
trying to compile in? e.g.
#ls
hello.java SavitchIn.java
If you don't have SavitchIn.java in the directory that you're compiling,
it'll spit that error out at your because it doesn't know the about the
class you're referencing. If you have any other problems, email me
off-list, since I've been using the same book, with jdk1.3.1 on freebsd for
about a month or two now.
