Hello,

I have finished the first draft of "ooo_extract".  A program to extract/search data 
from OpenOffice.org files.  I am putting up a project website explaining more clearly 
how it works.

I am writing the section explaining what Ruby is and where you can get it.

Q1:  Am I right to assume that Ruby 1.8.0 should provide zlib in all platforms?

Q2:  I have a link to the Ruby source, and to the one-click Windows installer.  Is 
there an RPM I can get also?  What should I do about Macs?  I know that OS X comes 
with Ruby.  Is it version 1.8.0?  Does it come with zlib?  If not, where can I get a 
binary Mac installer?

When the page is done I'll make an announcement.

Cheers,
