not just for me, but for clients...wrap up the script, deliver...make money :)

my logging program works fine under dos with the threads. of course with dos 
not being multitasking  any long running ruby program would need to be run 
under desqview/etc.

not nessarily. there are at least three ways to wrap ruby code so only one 
executable  need be distributed.  although there's a 'one click installer' for 
ruby on windows that's easily installed...

for the most part i just wrap the ruby code and deliver...
