Thanks a lot for your reply.

Thanks, had a quick look on it.

Forgive my stupidy. I have about 5 hours of java
experience. What exactly is the "classpath"?

/MyProject/classes ?

If have the project test2.jpx which has a class
named ClockAnalogBuf.java.
No idea what a package is :-)

0196.png etc in my case.

Ok, i put my images in two (identical) images
subfolders:

/test2
   /bak
   /classes
     /package cache
       *test2.dep2
     /test2
       *ClockAnalogBuf.class
       ...
       /images
         *0196.png
         ...
   /doc
   /src
     /test2
       *ClockAnalogBuf.java
       ...
       /images
         *0196.png
         ...

Doesn't work:
         TileGfx[0] = toolkit.getImage("/images/0196.png");
Doesn't work:
         TileGfx[0] = toolkit.getImage("images/0196.png");
Works:
         TileGfx[0] = 
toolkit.getImage("c:/projects/test2/classes/test2/images/0196.png");

Is there any difference in the file name handling of
getResource vs. toolkit.getImage ?

Quite lengthy. I'll take a look at it tomorrow :-D
