Well, let blind lead the blind... I don't know anything about Java, but
I think that if it's just a bunch of classes, it will not work. An
application needs "public static void main" in the top class. But in
any case, "a bunch of class files" sounds pretty hopeless. Not even a jar?
Someone was really lazy, and the thing most likely never worked to begin
with.

P.S. Why don't you just use x3270?
