Subject: [ANN] RMagick available on Windows

Thanks to Kaspar Schiess, RMagick for Windows is now available at
http://rubyforge.org/projects/rmagick.

Kaspar built RMagick with ImageMagick 6.0.0 and bundled them together as a
Ruby Gem. This extension should run on all versions of Windows from Win98
to current. To install the package you'll need RubyGems (available at
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org). To install RMagick, download the zip file,
unzip it into a temporary directory, and follow the instructions in the
README.html file.

Please report bugs using the RMagick bug tracker on RubyForge. Kaspar
would like to hear from anybody who wants to run RMagick on Win95.

RMagick is an interface to the ImageMagick (www.imagemagick.org) and
GraphicsMagick (www.graphicsmagick.org) image processing libraries.
RMagick supports more than 80 image formats, including GIF, JPEG, and PNG.
RMagick includes extensive HTML documentation with over 100 complete
example programs.

You can see examples of what you can do with Ruby, RMagick, and
ImageMagick on the RMagick web page, http://rmagick.rubyforge.org.

(Thank you, Kaspar!)
