Subject: [ruby-talk:12766] Tk Demo in Windows

Hi Gang,

I've been through the newsgroup and the web sites and could use some
help with Tk in Windows. Does anyone have Conrad's widget demo running
on Win 2000? 

When I run widget, I get a stack problem:

	from /cygdrive/c/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:811:in `_invoke'
	 ... 736 levels...
	from ./tkencoding.rb:25:in `_invoke'
	from /cygdrive/c/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/tkafter.rb:14
	from C:\ruby\samples\tk\demos\widget:14:in `require'
	from C:\ruby\samples\tk\demos\widget:14

This seems to be caused by requiring tkafter, if I remove that then I
get the problem a little later, caused by tkencoding. If I remove
that, I get 
	command not found: cat ./button.rb
which I suppose would be trivial to get around if I had a clue what
"cat' is.

So, anyway, is there a windows version of this stuff?

Or am I on the wrong track entirely? What I'm trying to do, with Chet
Hendrickson, is prepare for a demo we're doing at Software
Development. We just need a fairly simple GUI, with a list box, a text
box, some scrolling, simple menus, etc.

I'm finding translating between the Perl/Tk and Ruby to be a bit hard
for those first bites. 

Thanks,

Ron
