Here is what I've done: 1. I downloaded "rubyscript2exe.rb" 2. Made a trivial Ruby prog consisting only a puts "Hello" 3. I also copied a "init.rb" to same directory 4. And typed "ruby rubyscript2exe.rb blahblah.rb" :-( What did I do wrong? My native language isn't English and perhaps I misunderstood the instructions on rubyscript2exe's website...
