Subject: Re: Ruby in HTA?

Thanks for the link, I'll have a look and see if I can find something 
relevant.

I've always intended to learn HTML and JavaScript; since my current 
experience is VBScript, VBA, a bit of C#, and Ruby. This led me to 
discover HTA.
HTAs look like a nice simple interface which doesn't scare users, is 
very quick to load, and has the option of multiple ways to accomplish 
the same task (HTML, CSS, JS, or VBS). I'm hoping there's a way to add 
Ruby to that list.

I am aware that HTA tech is a bit old and didn't really take off; but I 
think the small application size, native windows support, and the way 
you can quickly edit without having to compile anything, are worthwhile 
for writing simple things like custom calculators on local machines. At 
least, better than my previous approaches of Ruby-Ocra or C#.
