win32utils devel - Apr 2004 - win32-taskscheduler alpha

Well, I''m going to release the first version of win32-taskscheduler
today.
For now, I''ve kept the API about the same as it originally was because
I was
spending way too much time futzing around and I wanted to get something out 
the door.

For now, I''m calling this a BETA release, with the API subject to
change.
See the ''Future Plans'' section of the docs if you want to know
what some of
my plans are.

Regards,

Dan

Do you want me to include it in the one-click installer then ?

Speaking of which, I am just about ready to compile it and have you guys
give it a spin. Only one request: please rename the test files in all
modules
to be more explicit than just test.rb. That way I can include them as
samples
and not have any name conflicts. Currently, I am going to skip installing
the "samples" directory.

Let me know ...

Yes, please.  However, do NOT include win32-thread.

No problem.  I''ll do that today and let everyone know
when I''m done.

Thanks!

This is no longer necessary. I hope you did not rush into changing
all those names. It will not matter either way.

The newer release now has all samples too. The only problem
with this approach is that currently the "samples"
installaion is independant of the library modules. So even if
you uncheck the mmap module during installation, you are going
to get the samples for this module. I haven''t yet figured out how
to do conditional installs.

There is an option to have a sub-section for each module and I
am currently exploring that idea.

Ok ! I have taken it out.

This is not necessary any more ... but if you have done it
then that is fine too.

If this will break earlier code then it is not worth the trouble.

Just that I wanted a more specific moniker than "win32".

Not a big deal ...
