The README in the toplevel directory of the Ruby source says to uncomment any modules listed in ext/Setup that you want statically linked to your ruby.exe I did this with Win32API, my question is how do I then use Win32API from my programs? Do I still have to 'require "Win32API"'? (that doesn't work) Or is Win32API supposed to now be like other built-ins like Array? (ie. can I just start using methods in Win32API without 'require'ing it? That doesn't seem to be the case either). Phil
