Subject: [ANN] Text::Format for Ruby (1.003)

I have just reimplemented Text::Format for Perl (0.52) in Ruby. I 
have kept the Perl version numbering scheme because it is my 
intention to keep up with the versions of that library -- although I 
don't expect the version number to change much (the last update for 
that library was in 1998).

If you are familiar with Text::Format for Perl, you should find this 
very familiar to use. It's not an exact match (there's no config()) 
and it uses the object construction technique that Dave and Andy 
introduced, but it works and it works very well.

Note that if you wish to generate the documentation from this library
(you shouldn't need to; I have already done so), you should use the 
CVS HEAD version of rdoc -- there are some new, experimental features
used in the documentation for this package.
