Welcome back ! We missed you ... at least I did when I needed some guidance
when wanting to "rockit" ;-)

So am I !

  C:\atest>ruby -v
  ruby 1.7.3 (2002-11-17) [i386-mswin32]

I downloaded the latest release (exerb 2.5 and exerb-cc 2.5) and verified
that the test one-liner (puts 'Ok') worked.

Same here ..

Don't know about cui17z, but I tried the simple

   C:\atest>exerb.rb tst_md5exe.rbc

and ran it:

   C:\atest>.\tst_md5exe
   tst_md5exe.rb:1: [BUG] Segmentation fault
   ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-24) [i586-mswin32]

   abnormal program termination

Notice how it reports ruby 1.6.8 and not 1.7.3.

Did not even get that far :-(

Yeah !!  Also, did anyone figure out why the documentation is *ix like
(Cygwin ?) when the utility is for *doze?
