Piping to windows command line .rb file doesn't work

That works fine. But it isn’t what I wanted. I’m trying to get some of the
common Unix commands available under Windows. And I want them to work like
they do on the Unix command line.

And, before anyone suggests it, I can’t download any tools from the net or
buy any packages. My corporation is paranoid to an extreme. I can write
all the code I want but can’t install someone elses without ‘permission’.

So I’m writing enough ruby to get by as I need a tool (I just started).

I get this output (NOTE, it’s the same):
print $stdin.readlines

If I type this command (.rb has been associated to ruby.exe on
Win2K):
> type cat.rb | cat.rb

I get this output:
cat.rb:1:in `readlines’: Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)

    from cat.rb:1

What about type cat.rb | ruby cat.rb ?
