Running Ruby from a CD

Hi,

As an experiment I burned a CD witha Ruby intallation on it and in the
root directory of the CD I made a setup.bat that looks something like:

…\bin\ruby makebat.rb #creates a bat file in %TEMP% that sets …

Where does “…” bring you if you are in the root?

%TEMP%setenv.bat #sets up TCL and TK env vars Ruby needs

The rest of the batch file will not be executed unless you do:

call %TEMP%setenv.bat

…\bin\ruby main.rb #starts a little Ruby/TK gui

Regards,
Yura.

Sorry, extra ‘.’.

%TEMP%setenv.bat #sets up TCL and TK env vars Ruby needs

right.
