Greetings all. I have some controller code that uses win32ole (only available on windows). This code is now solid, and I''d now like to resume development on (any) other OS(grin).

Dan/Park, What are your thoughts about implemented portion of the win32utils family that are written in ruby utilizing WIN32OLE.

Hi all, I was just reading my "Python Programming on Win32" and I saw how easy it was to setup a COM server and a class. I tried to download Ralph Mason''s rubycom package, but the link is dead.
