From: John Rubinubi Date: 2001-01-23T02:35:03+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:9726] putc doesn't work in RubyWin putc crashes RubyWin if you run the program by selecting Run File under the Ruby menu. The same program runs fine if started from a dos prompt (or by clicking on its icon which runs it under dos) So that makes putc, DATA and ARGF. (I recently said ARGV but that was a mistake. I don't know about ARGV.) John
