Thanks, that did the trick for Doug's code. You are right that packages must
be in subdirectories under the location indicated by CLASSPATH. Without
'import' there seems to be no need to compile the other class first (otherwise
circular references would be kind of tough). This may be in the docs
somewhere, but I haven't found it.
I still can't compile stuff located in the CLASSPATH directory which contains
no package statements, but at least by adding package statements and moving
the files (which is probably good practice anyway), I have a way forward.
Thanks again, Andy
