Hi (again!) I have a function which gets passed the name of an instance variable, and spits its out all nicely formatted.

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time.
