Subject: Re: ActiveRecord and FXRuby..

The Pragmatic RoR book explains in detail how to do this.  It mostly just
involves passing in your DB config to ActiveRecord instead of having it in
the RoR ./config dir.

Someone please correct me if I've misspoken as I have not yet attempted
actually doing this.

The book's not in front of me right now, I'll try and paste an example later
after I check it out.

'njoy,
Mark
