    Hi All,

    BrowserLauncher2 has problems on Windows 98. The third argument passed to command.com (zero length string) is not accepted.  The following work on my test system (Windows 98 SE 4.10.2222 A with Internet Explorer 6) :

    command.com /c start /max "http://www.papercut.biz/"

      or

    command.com /c start "http://www.papercut.biz/"

    Previously I've made a one like hack to the original BrowserLauncher.  It would be great if this could be corrected in BrowserLauncher2.  I would suggest removing the class StandardCommandArgs from the DefaultWindowsBrowserLauncher base class and moving this code up the hierarchy via an abstract method like:

    protected abstract String[] getStandardComandArgs()

    Each platform subclass would implement it's own version and this inturn would avoid the need to pass through the command program via the constructor.

    Happy to provide a patch if this would be of as stance.

    Cheers,

    Chris
