Hi folks,
I have just downloaded 1.2.2.006 from sun, and am trying to do:
javac HelloWorld.java
I appear to be in a loop getting th emessage
invalid character in input, then a beep.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Bob

Ok,
Similar code from Sun's site worked ok, so I guess my install is ok...
Not sure why this didn't work tho...
