Good evening,
I am taking a class in Java, and need help answering the following 2

I'm writing a program in an IDE (jbuilder 2005), but when I try to
compile it I get errors about classes not being found.  I figure out
that it has something to do with the package, so I test it out using a
smaller version.

I've got a program which displays potentially very large files.  Files
larger than 250k or so cause Java to run out of memory.  I'm building a
bigger view based on the file (converting binary to hex) so this view
