This looks like you're perhaps missing some class files, or have a
mixture of old and new class files. Have you ever compiled the GLI
yourself (using makegli.bat), or are you just using the JAR files as
distributed?

You might like to check that there is nothing in the gli\classes\org
folder and the GLI.jar file is 3,534,508 bytes in size.

Let me know how you get on.

Michael
