Microsoft Corporation

Pedant says Neil is technically correct, talk to any techie and he will still call it a dos command prompt. It even pumps out Microsoft DOS as its 'version'. Seeing as the original MS stood for Microsoft its a tenuous argument either way.

Its a command interpreter that will interpret MSDOS as well as extended command set. so as teh command line java command is 32 bit its technically not MS DOS per say rather Microsoft DOS if you get my meaning.

anyway, 1.6 has made quite a number of changes and anyting marked as deprecated in 1.5 would be removed in 1.6. As teh chatroom software was almost certainly written for 1.4.2 this is why it is likely to be failing.

Roll back to 1.4.2 or 1.5 and it should be OK.
