Why did you do that? - I installed it somewhere else.

I don't understand what you are saying here?

Oh so you're using win95/98, always helpful to say so.
Do you mean the JBUILDER install has screwed up your autoexec
and you don't know how to fix it?

Without more information on the problem, nobody can help you.
You could restore your autoexec form a backup.

I tried this out on nt and had no problems.
If you don't say what happened when you tried "java hello"
nobody can do any more than guess at your problem
Here is my guess:
You didn't read the documentation (in particular jgnat-1.0p-README.txt)
you got java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, right?
Search the doco for CLASSPATH and you will find the solution.

If my guess is wrong, maybe you fouled up the installation?
