Subject: [ruby-talk:21746] Problems with Net stuff on Win2000/XP

Please!  I don't have the time or expertise to dig through the ruby
library and try to fix the Net problems that I've been having with XP
and 2000.  I have a number of scripts that use SMTP, POP3 and HTTP
classes and work fine in Windows 98, but constantly crash on Windows
2000 and XP.  I have seen this issue mentioned previously on
comp.lang.ruby, but everybody shrugs their shoulders and seems to just
put up with it.  I think that this is an important enough issue to
really interfere with the progress and wide acceptance of ruby.  In
fact, I've ended upn coding a lot of stuff in C# just to avoid the
annoyances, even though I would much prefer to use Ruby.

Would some courageous soul venture into this territory?

Thanks,

Carl Youngblood
