Get the Multi-platform starkit version of cgosGtp_kit.zip on the web site.

Then follow the link under the "Platform" column for the starkit page.  

You will need to find and get  sdx and tclkit for your platform - which
are freely available.

Then unpack the kit version of the client using:   "sdx unwrap cgosGtp.kit"

All the source code and supporting libraries and packages will appear as
a directory which you can edit freely.    Then you can repack it  with 
"sdx wrap ..." 

But the problem you are seeing is a bug in the server.   I am restarting
the server which will be a temporary cure.      It seems there are
situations where a program loses it's connection or logs off and the
server still thinks it is logged on.   I think I can fix this without
too much trouble - I will put this on my todo list.
