i've been away from ruby for awhile, it was time to dust off the pickaxe book and get back to it. is there a ruby extension for ncurses under windows? and will ruby compile under the standalone mingw32 version of gcc? i haven't seen any indication of either on the ruby web page so i thought i would see if there were any third party solutions. it's not critical that i compile my own version, but i'd really like an ncurses extension working under windows... -- http://home.cogeco.ca/~tsummerfelt1
