Ruby, Languages, Ruby Object Oriented Programming Language for OpenVMS

  Welcome to Ruby for OpenVMS.

  Documents and software kit for Ruby installation on OpenVMS are available
  at http://www.geocities.jp/vmsruby/en/.

  This directory contains Ruby for OpenVMS Alpha X1.8-1X014, based on the
  Ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) distribution.

  Documents included here are the installation gude and a preliminary
  release notes document.  

  Ruby language documentation is available at:

    http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020107.html

  with additional information available at:

  This is the first release of Ruby for OpenVMS, and as such the kit has not
  been fully tested.

  Currently, the only extension library included is the Socket library. 
  Many of the core ruby libraries (written in Ruby) are included; however,
  these libraries have not been thoroughly tested on OpenVMS. 

  The next release of Ruby for OpenVMS will likely be based on a stable
  version 1.8.2.

  Ruby/MySQL extension library (made by Tomita, Masahiro) has been compiled
  on OpenVMS.  During testing, it accessed MySQL 4.1.3 beta on OpenVMS and
  MySQL 4.0.12 on Windows XP.
