D:\>java -cp "D:\Install Files\ANTLR\antlr-source\bin\org\antlr\runtime"
-cp "D:\Install Files\ANTLR\antlr-source\bin" -cp "D:\Install
Files\ANTLR\antlr-3.0\lib\antlr-2.7.7.jar" -cp "D:\Install
Files\ANTLR\antlr-3.0\lib\stringtemplate-3.0.jar" org.antlr.Tool

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/antlr/Tool

Not much of an improvement. Maybe the CLASSPATH, I've set for the
distributed answer, is interfering but I don't know how to undefine an
environment variable in a DOS box anymore.
