>Hello,

>I was wondering where I could find a downloadable version of the book

>"Programming Ruby." The links to the downloadable versions at the page

>http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/downloads/book.html seem to

>be broken. Is this due to some accident, or have the links been broken

>intentionally, perhaps to encourage people to buy the book (which is

>completely understandable, as it's obvious that a _lot_ of work went into

>Thanks,
