Subject: Re: Saving UTF-8 characters to YAML problem

> install the ya2yaml gem and use "ôÚÙµÞÙÛÀÓì007£ºäÞå¨ñýûý".ya2yaml instead of .to_yaml

I really hoped this worked but it didn't for 100%.

Here is what I did:
I installed ya2yaml gem using "gem install ya2yaml" command (Windows
box) and "sudo gem install ya2yaml" Linux box. Got: ya2yaml-0.26.

Then I modified my simple program to be:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'yaml'
require 'ya2yaml'
require 'jcode'
$KCODE = 'u'

# show "James Bond 007: Nightfire" text
# in Chinese in YAML form
puts 'ôÚÙµÞÙÛÀÓì007£ºäÞå¨ñýûý'.ya2yaml

and ran it both on my Windows and Linux boxes.

Windows: When I redirect results to a file (running "yaml_test.rb >
test.yaml") it works perfectly but when I try to display results on a
screen (running "yaml_test.rb") with 65001 active code page (set
through "chcp 65001" in command line) I see:
(squares)007(squares) and an error message: "in 'write' Bad file
descriptor (Errno::EBADF)".

Linux: While running above program I get:
"./yaml_test.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- ya2yaml
(LoadError) from ./yaml_test.rb:4"

Any clue how to work around this?
Any help much appreciated!
