Subject: Windows 2000 is required :( Yuk!

Hello everyone,

I need to use voice dictation software and it only runs on Windows so
currently I am stuck in that.  I would really like to work with Ruby
however, I'm having a bit of difficulty.

I seem to be having a bit of difficulty trying to get libraries
written for Ruby for my Windows 2000 machine.  Does anyone have any
suggestions about emulators, and the like, or other ways to get Ruby
libraries running on Windows 2000?

Everything for Ruby as make files.  I don't know how to run make files
on Windows 2000 and their Beery seldomly seems to be a Windows 2000
compatible installer.  I am currently trying to get CYGWIN working
properly however, I seem to be doing something wrong.

I would greatly appreciate any other ideas on how to more easily front
Ruby libraries on Windows 2000!

Todd
