Actually, CL_Client is a command-line client written in Java.  If you
want to run the GUI you need to run MA_Client.  But java is not finding
the class file, which if I remember right is because the gui class files
are now in the file mascharts.jar.  You could try this:

Start the server and then start up cmd.exe.  Make sure you're in
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes (assuming that is where the java
*.class files were installed).  Make sure there is a mascharts.jar file in
that directory.  (The name might be slightly different - you could search
for *.jar files.)  If it's not there, use the find file tool to find it and
cd to that directory.  Then run:

java -cp .\mascharts.jar MA_Client localhost 18273

(assuming mascharts.jar is the right file name and 18273 is the port number
the server is running on).  If this works, it should not be hard to modify
the batch file to do the same thing and get it working.

Since connecting to the server works in command-line mode, it should also
work for the GUI, assuming the parameters are the same as when running in
command-line mode, e.g., using localhost as the host name and the same port
number.

Hope this helps.
