Most likely a classpath problem. Read about the java classpath in your book
or somewhere in the java tutorial at java.sun.com, which has been down all
day.

Try "java -classpath . blurf". If that works, the classpath is your problem.
Please post further questions in comp.lang.java. help.

Two things, nat. 1) Ensure that you have a 'main' method, and 2) ensure
that if you are using a "package" statement (on top of the file), that
your directory structure matches.

(1)Your current directory from where you issue javac/java command
shoud match the directory where your blurf.java/.class are stored.
(2)Your CLASSPATH should have . in it. Dot means current directory
wherever it is.

[autoexec.bat used in Win 95/98/Me]
SET CLASSPATH=.;%CL ASSPATH%

[other Windows]
Goto control panel.
