Thanks again. I have installed rbdj144. I works sometimes, and sometimes binds the computer up. The rubyw.exe from another set of binaries doesn't work at all on the Win95 and Win98 computers I have...several of each of different companies. It gives a system error on trying to execute. But you can do some trivial things with the MSDOS version of Ruby.
