Subject: Trying to get stat, Win32API to work

Hi all,

Ruby 1.8.4
Windows XP

I'm trying to make a pure Ruby version of File::Stat.  Something seems
to go wrong around the time I get rdev.  I think I just need another set
of eyes to see what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks,

Dan

# stat.rb

require 'Win32API'

# Based on what I see in sys/types.h:
#
# ino_t  - unsigned short
# dev_t  - unsigned int
# off_t  - long
# time_t - long

      _dev_t st_dev;          # 'I', 4

      unsigned short st_mode; # 'S', 2
      short st_nlink;         # 's', 2
      short st_uid;           # 's', 2
      short st_gid;           # 's', 2
      _dev_t st_rdev;         # 'I', 4
