i'm useless with windows... sorry ;-(

the website

   http://www.freepan.org/all/by-dist/fs-watcher/ruby/

says this though

   "simple library for watching events occurring on a file system. You can =
watch
   entire directories, or individual files. You will be notified of file
   creation, modification, and deletion. This solution is (should be) platf=
orm
   independent. You might use this to monitor the config files of your serv=
er for
   changes for example."

i seem to remember windows has hooks for this at the filesystem layer or
something though - so maybe it's even __better__ in windows?

cheers.
