Subject: Re: bin-file on linux

CC -

Ruby should be portable across OS's.

Can you give us more information about what your goal is, what you've
tried, etc.?

I think the answer may be not be so difficult.

You know you can run a Ruby script by calling the ruby interpreter, right?:

ruby myscript.rb

If you want it to look like a standalone program in Windows, you could
always write a batch file that included the above.
