"bin\apollo.rb" may be "bin\apollo.exe".
"apollo.exe" is the simple Ruby IDE for Apollo.
It works only in Windows.
To my regret, Project Apollo doesn't have "apollo.rb"

# "apollo.rb" means the Ruby IDE which written in Apollo.

You know, Apollo is mainly developed by the Japanese.
So, the ML(ap-list) is for the Japanese and almost all 
the Apollo's documents are written in Japanese.

# But, Japanese Apollo's Documents are few (^^; .

The Delphi documents and sample\ap-rbbr\ap-rbbr.rb 
(Ruby Browser for Apollo) will help you write Apollo script.

# ap-rbbr.rb is derived from Ruby/GTK's rbbr.rb 
# which is written by Hiroshi Igarashi, the Ruby/GTK developer.
# And I hope ap-rbbr.rb will work on Windows 
# other than Japanese Windows.



If you have Delphi 5, you can write Ruby Extended Library 
by Delphi/Object Pascal.
But, Apollo script doesn't need the whole parts of Delphi.

# I don't know Delphi 3 or 4 is usable. 
# But, I hear C++ Builder is usable.


If you are interested in Apollo, please try it.

# Because Apollo's Ruby is a little diffrent from original Ruby,
# I write "Apollo script" instead of "Ruby script" in this mail.
