| If you are on windows then a GUI toolkit named Fxruby should have been
| distributed with the Ruby installer.
|
| http://www.fxruby.org/
|
| Documentation is relative good (better than other toolkits).

I tried FXRuby as my first ruby GUI toolkit and immediately
i hit problems.  Just making a plain window wasn't working
right.  All of the bits you set to get borders, menus, etc
weren't working.

I would recommend starting with WX or GTK2.  I haven't had
much experience in these kits yet, but my experienc with
FXRuby was horrid.  I just wanted to find out how well the
GUI part would work but haven't gotten heavily into it, so
whatever experience you obtain, i would like to know how you
made out.

Regs,
Derek
