HI All,

 I'm trying to find a platform independent way of hiding the STDOUT when a
password is being entered via the gets method...
I was able to hide all output in Linux by using Termios , but as you know
this doesn't work on Windows..

What would be nice , is a simple implementation of asterisks replacing the
actual characters displayed to STDOUT ...

Does anyone know if this is possible in Ruby?

 Thanks,

draygen
