JGNAT help puh-leeze

[G <gmw@interact.net.au>]

I am still working at a novice level in all of this.  However - I am
wondering,
after installing the JGNAT over my GNAT, I have problems running some
examples because of an aborted installation of Borland's JBUILDER which
has inserted itself
into some of the path operations.  It is not evident in my autoexec.bat
file... so I can't trial the examples.  Any advice ?

Also - The JGNAT outputs class files.  Ok, but why is it that after
compiling the hello.adb file to hello.class that I can't run the class
file with "java hello" at the command line prompt ?

Thanks,
Graeme
