Ruby, Languages, Ruby Object Oriented Programming Language for OpenVMS Welcome to Ruby for OpenVMS. Documents and software kit for Ruby installation on OpenVMS are available at http://www.geocities.jp/vmsruby/en/. This directory contains Ruby for OpenVMS Alpha X1.8-1X014, based on the Ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) distribution. Documents included here are the installation gude and a preliminary release notes document. Ruby language documentation is available at: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020107.html with additional information available at: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ This is the first release of Ruby for OpenVMS, and as such the kit has not been fully tested. Currently, the only extension library included is the Socket library. Many of the core ruby libraries (written in Ruby) are included; however, these libraries have not been thoroughly tested on OpenVMS. The next release of Ruby for OpenVMS will likely be based on a stable version 1.8.2. Ruby/MySQL extension library (made by Tomita, Masahiro) has been compiled on OpenVMS. During testing, it accessed MySQL 4.1.3 beta on OpenVMS and MySQL 4.0.12 on Windows XP.
