Hi,

Thanks.

Subject: Fix for console mode Ruby
Ruby for Windows
http://RubyInstaller.org
has a console and GUI mode version of the interpreter, ruby.exe and
rubyw.exe, respectively. Due to an apparent JAWS bug, the console
version locks up when run with JAWS at a command prompt. This does not
happen with Window-Eyes or NVDA.
I found a work-around by running a batch file instead of the executable
directly. It is called rubyc.bat (a suffix of c as opposed to w). The
content is simply the following:
@echo off
ruby.exe %*
You can copy rubyc.bat to the same bin subdirectory where ruby.exe,
rubyw.exe, irb.bat, and gem.bat reside. I have now also included the
file in the archive of the Ruby fruit basket program
http://EmpowermentZone.com/rb_fruit.zip
If anyone figures out a way to fix JAWS so this is not necessary, I am
still interested in that, too.
Jamal
