1. require 'whatever.rb' -or- load 'whatever.rb'
2. runtime is basicly the ruby distribution - the interpreter and the
libs. on windows it probably means the one-click installer
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller)
3. don't know IIS, but I'd that by having IIS run them ;-) Or, using
intermediate ruby webserver(s) like mongrel or webrick. Or, if it is
possible, but using FCGI/FastCGI/SCGI (plain old CGI is too slow most
of the time).
