A while back I was having some trouble getting multiplayer commands to work and I know a few others where also. I have finally mastered it and I decided to post my little chat program that I made for DBPro. It is pretty nice for a first time. It has some little things I was playing around with, for example when sending a message you can type a "%" or "|" or "^" at the begging and the message changes colors also, if you run it in windowed mode the title changes to your name. If you don't have two computers to test this out on then just run it in windowed mode, connect to yourself, create a chat room then run the program again and join with a different name, you can talk with yourself to see if it works. I didn't do much commenting and it's kind of hard to understand, so if any one likes it and wants me to clean it up or explain anything I'd be happy to.

Could someone try to connect to my computer. I'll leave a server running for awhile, I'll edit this message and say when I turn it on and off, so try and connect.
I have only tried connecting within a LAN connection, so I am curious to see if it works outside that.
