Thanks for the info; however I have to concentrate on rent-paying work for
the rest of this particular evening.

For future reference, I did take a look at the Ruby Mailing Lists page
(http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ml.html) and didn't see any reference to
ruby-dev.  So I tried clicking on the Site Map link to see if I could find
it that way, but got What's New in www.ruby-lang.org
(http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/sitenew.html), which is different from what
you get when you click on the What's New link
(http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/index.html#new). I'm not sure if this is just
a simple mis-labeling or a link error.

So next I tried sending a help message to ruby-dev-ctl (by analogy with
the ruby-talk instructions) to see if it referenced an archive. No such
luck, but fortunately I had another revelation of the obvious and found
the archives at (http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-dev/index.shtml).

It might be nice to add a link to this under the link for the ruby-lang
archive link on the Ruby Mailing Lists page.

Anyway, I did find and view the patch. Speaking of patches, do you or
anyone else know if is there some standard procedure to make the English
version of Netscape display Japanese characters instead of lots of little
rectangles or "今度こそ" sorts of line noise characters?
