From: Ernst Tanaka Date: 2008-01-19T02:00:56+09:00 Subject: Request for new gem (DDE) A request for senior rubyist to write a DDE Gem. If you check out VisualFoxPro you see a great set of command handling every DDE situation. Trust me; I have check the web -- it really seems Ruby doesnot have anything close. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/as3e74s4(VS.80).aspx DDE Functions. It would be great if the gem could also handle callback from DDEadvise TK has a limited set of DDE command implemented. Two disadvantages one you have to load TK for just a limited use; two the Tk DDE implementation is very limited. I am not able to take up my own dare. I learned to program in 1980 on Cics/Cobol and have learned ruby over the last months by trial and error. I am on the edge of my ruby knowledge. We have a long weekend coming up; :) Thanks!
