Update on this issue, which still plagues me. I have tried the
following, and still I get the same error with jview. I took the
class file that I generated with javac, and zipped it up with WinZip,
then changed the extension from ZIP to JAR. Then I tried to run jview
with the /cp switch. Here are the results  of the operation:

C:\DATA\code\java>dir

C:\DATA\code\java>jview /cp C:\DATA\code\java\HelloWorldApp.jar
HelloWorldApp

ERROR: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError


So, I'm still stuck. Everything on the web seems to point to this
being a classpath issue, yet I'm overriding that with the cp option
and I'm still getting the problem.

There must be another factor that is playing into this.
