Subject: Re: can I do windows shell scripting in ruby?

Just a thought, there are versions of Perl, Rexx and Python that works
as a wsh (windows scripting host).  Apparently it allows them some
special access to things, creating com objects etc.  More or less a
direct hook into the local OS.  More so than you get just by running a
different scripting language in windos.  Perhaps some kind soul could
figure out how to do the same for ruby on windows?

I mean ruby on UNIX already has a close to, if not equal to, status as
sh and Perl for scripting, so getting it to work as a wsh script in
windows would be more along the lines of bringing the windows version
up to snuff.

Like I said, just a thought
