Dear Kvan,
The hard way is to create you java source as HELLO.JAV, then just before
you compile, go to the WIN95 dos prompt and give the command:
RENAME HELLO.JAV HELLO.JAVA
then
JAVAC HELLO.JAVA
The Dos prompt can handle the long filenames. If you are using 4dos
or ndos, then you have to upgrade to the latest version of 4dos: 5.51
The easy way is to use a text editor that can handle the
long names in the first place. (I like visual slickedit.)
