I just downloaded jdk1.1.6 from javasoft site. When I type "javac xxx.java" in a DOS window I get the following message: "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." I am running Windows 95 and trying to compile in a DOS window.

Response The fix was to go into properties for my DOS window and, under advanced, uncheck the "Prevent MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows"
