Ruby for DOS

Is there a version of Ruby for DOS?
Like to use it to script unattended installations instead of using .bat files.

Ruby can be compiled using djgpp, which requires 386 or later.

						matz.

Yes,there is rubywin-0.0.3.8-i586-mswin32-1.6.zip.You do not need setup.Only unzip it and
set path.

btw, can ruby be compiled for 8086? or it is just too fat for 640K
barrier?

using ruby for developing control software for Pump Station will be
very fun :slight_smile:

Ruby requires ‘sizeof(long) == sizeof(void*)’ which might be too
restrictive for plain 8086.

this is true for large model. as i see, you never try to wrote
programs for 16-bit ms-dos :slight_smile:

Hi,

The first time I understood the underlying Ruby object model, I also
thought that it would not be straightforward to port Ruby to some embedded
systems (with 8-bit or 16-bit processors). It appears that Ruby is really
optimized for “typical” (or even larger) computers. Probably it will be
just a matter of time before someone writes R2ME (Ruby 2 Micro
Edition)? :slight_smile:

Regards,

Bill
