Obie,
I have a mixed of Ruby 1.6.7 and Ruby 1.8.2 running in over 75 RS/6000 under
AIX 4.3.3, AIX 5.2.0 and AIX 5.3.0. I had some issues with the installation,
but with the help of this great Ruby gang I was able to quickly address my
issues.
Although I do some networking (TCP and UDP protocol) with Ruby, I am not an
experienced Ruby programmer. But the point is that Ruby works just fine and
I try to use it always in place of the Korn Shell, which is the default
shell in AIX.

Victor
