where would a complete novice (to ruby; have some vb experience, but MS
hold’s one’s hand the entire way when setting up VB6; not as cryptic as
this setup seems to be…) get some tips on how to configure ruby after
downloading and executing “ruby 164-7.exe” to win95? have no clue where
to begin, or where any executables are to open a shell, or editor, to
practice… any web sites of how to’s or faqs anyone can suggest?
many thanks, please email if possible,

Hi,
After you execute the rubyxxx.exe, do you see a Ruby folder in the Windows
startup program menu? If yes, you can just select the
“RubyWin” sub-menu. It will bring the editor/execution environment for
you.
To get the Ruby FAQ, you can use the power of Google
(http://www.google.com). If you just type “Ruby FAQ” there, the first
entry is “www.rubycentral.com/faq/”.
To start learning Ruby, you can try the on-line version of the
“Programming Ruby” book by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt. Again, if you type
“programming ruby” in Google, the first entry is
“www.rubycentral.com/book/”. If you just can follow the book up to the
“When Trouble Strikes” chapter, you will be in great shape. Good luck!
Regards,
Bill
