Yes, I did try only that line. It's the only thing that doesn't work.

Hmm, release notes say Ruby 1.6.5 for cygwin 1.3.2-1.

I installed cygwin 1.3.9-1 dll. Now it doesn't throw an error, but instead 
the gets returns nil.
I guess that means the next question is how to get the keyboard input to be

Nah... webdesign. "Chose your serverside (CGI/ASP/PHP/JSP) 
language/interface, but do these assignments" stuff. I decided on Ruby, 
since it looks by far the cleanest and easiest to use.

But this was not part of an assignment, I just felt like doing it for a 
table game I'm trying to get computerised.
