Hi all,

I am relatively new to the list and I feel kind of bad about 
throwing out a question so quick.  I usually like to lurk around 
for sometime before I jump in the discussion.  However, I am 
desperate for an answer and I will be indebted to anyone who 
helps me out.  Here is the problem:

I am trying to get the Animator applet from Sun to work.  
Actually, right now I am just trying to compile it.  When I 
first pulled the source down off the Net and tried to compile it 
I had eight errors.  Now, however, I am only down to one.  And I 
have been stuck on this one error for the past 4 hours.  

My error message that I get says:

"c:\website\htdocs\java\animator.java :51: Warning: Public class 
Animator must be defined in a file called "Animator.java".

Public class Animator extends java.applet.Applet implements 
Runnable"

Now, I would imagine that my problem lies at the end of this 
error where it states "Public class Animator extends Applet 
implements Runnable."  Here is what the begining of my source 
code looks like....
***********************************************************
public class Animator extends java.applet.Applet implements 
Runnable { 
    
    /**
     * The images, in display order (Images).
     */
    Vector images = null;

    /** 

*************************************************************

Is this where I have to define the public class Animator?  If so 
what is the line that I need to enter in?  Also, does the 
"java.applet.Applet" section have to correlate with a certain 
directory structure on my machine.  I have noticed that 
"java.applet.Applet" is used in almost every script and the only 
thing that is different is the name of the public class..in this 
case it is "Animator." 

Any information that anyone could provide me with why this is 
not working will be greatly appreciated.

Take care,
