Under win95, it should work vis:

        javac <file>.java               -- your source file ends in '.java'

        -- compiler creates <file>.class

        appletviewer <file>.html        -- your html file should load
<file>.class

Make sure all capitalisation is correct:
        javac helloWorld.java   --ok
        javac Helloworld.java   -- may compile but not create the class, or
whatever...

I found it easiest to put everything in the root level of the 'classes'
directory.

Make sure your 'CLASSPATH' variable is pointing to the right place, where
your classes are.
I have a line in my autoexec.bat, but you probably installed to a different
place.

set CLASSPATH=C:\dev\jdk\classes\

(remember, if you set this in a dosbox, its only valid for that window)

When you start using packages it surprisingly gets a lot easier...
