Can anyone tell me why I need to issue the complete jre command e.g.
jre -cp
.;myclass.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\classes.zip;c:\windows\java\classes\Jb
cl2.0-rt.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\Jgl3.1.0.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\Sw
ingall.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\interclient.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\v
bcpp.jar MCS.DBManager

and not just
jre -cp .;myclass.jar MCS.DBManager

Even if I copy and paste this classpath in the first command into a
set
classpath=.;c:\windows\java\classes\classes.zip;c:\windows\java\classes\Jbcl
2.0-rt.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\Jgl3.1.0.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\Swin
gall.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\interclient.jar;c:\windows\java\classes\vbc
pp.jar
command first I can't get the second shorter command to fire without error.

What am I (not)expecting to happen?
