Check two things.
1. Did you compile Text1 first? You must.
2. Make sure your classpath is set to include the location of your class files.

[Allen Alchian]

Try changing the first line of your code by eliminating the class modifier: public. It should then read...
class Text1 {
Someone else will have to explain the rationale.
