Hi,
 I got same problem even I add the C:\appl\Mason\mason\start to the
classpath (Enviroment variable).
  On the other hand, I run the mason.bat in windows xp. There is no
combo box jumped off(like repast). It looks interesting. Could you
give me your installation step in detail and give me your mason file
too.
  I read the mason web, it said if I run mason in windows xp, it needs
to be compiled. I saw the makefile in the mason folder, so I think it
is for linux and it needs to be built before I use it.

Thank y ou
