Funny you should say that...

I'm in the middle of completing a set for Ruby 1.6. Right now I have
tests for 796 separate functions, with just over 10,000 asserts.

My problem is that it currently is not multi-platform. It runs on
recent Linux versions, but it relies on having some utilities present
that older Linuxes (and other Unices don't have). When I get time I'll 
tidy it up and make it available for download.


Regards


Dave
