classpath

[saravanan ragunathan]

when i include the package in d and e drive in class path
i did as following
javac -cp d:;e:;.; Ex.java

but when i include package in c drive

javac -cp c:;.; Ex.java

it gives compilation error package does not exist

but the follwing runs successfully

javac -cp c:\;.; Ex.java by adding the forward slash to c drive..

so why \ is required only in c drive

Would you mind pasting exact error/exception you are getting?

i am only getting PACKAGE DOES NOT EXIST error
if i forget to include \ with c: in classpath
