Hi Stratton,

My problem with those is that they do not address OS/2 issues.  Having 
never worked with Unix I always have trouble getting Unix ports to work 
on OS/2.  I was looking for help getting it to run on OS/2.

I did download the older Ruby package on Hobbes and it has a readable 
OS/2 specific file in it.  But..... it refers to a OS/2 script in the 
Ruby/samples directory which does not exist.  There is a samples 
directory buryed deep in the file structure but I did not find anything 
relating to OS/2.  I am assuming that the script to which they refer 
must setup the necessary OS/2 enviroment to get Ruby to run.

So I am still looking for help on this one.

Thanks,  Jim
