Download JDK 1.6 and use the Scanner class for reading input. Otherwise, use BufferedReader.

If the OP had read the API documentation s/he would have read this:

Deprecated. This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. As of
JDK 1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via the BufferedReader. readLine()
method. Programs that use the DataInputStream class to read lines can be
converted to use the BufferedReader class by replacing code of the form:
[code=java]
DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream (in);
[/code]
with:
[code=java]
BufferedReader d
= new BufferedReader( new InputStreamRead er(in));
[/code]

Yep, it's deplorable; I just replied to someone who could just tell us that there
was 'some error'; too lazy to even copy and paste the compiler error diagnostic.

I replied to that one as well.
Had to do a lot of gambling too.
