I wrote a loop that reads a text file (NVRAM.TXT) and stores it in a big 
character array and prints it out.  It works fine. Just for the heck of 
it I tried to break it into two files: one that does the reading and the 
creation of the array, and another (with main) that prints out the first 
10 characters of the array.  It doesn't work.  There's something wrong 
with how I reference the array in the main program.  The two files are 
shown below, along with the error message that is generated. The 
statement causing the error is:

System.out.print(bstr.nvchr[n]);

Please tell me how to make it work (if possible).  Here are the two files:

public class NvrWork {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         int n;
         BigString bstr = new BigString();
         for (n = 1; n < 10; n++) {

         System.out.print(bstr.nvchr[n]);

             }
         }
     }

public class BigString {

         public BigString() {
         int fin = 1;
         int count = 1;
         try {
         FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("NVRAM.TXT");
         char[] nvchr = new char [30000];

             while (fin != -1) {
              fin = file.read();
              nvchr[count] = (char) fin;
              //System.out.print(nvchr[count]);
              count++;
             }
         System.out.println("Bytes read : " + count);
         file.close();
     } catch (IOException e){
         System.out.println("Could not read file");
     }

}
}

OUTPUT:

run:
Bytes read : 26017
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable 
source code - Erroneous tree type: <any>
	at NvrWork.main(NvrWork.java:9)
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 3 seconds)

TIA.   Bill S.
