Get password Or no echo

[ruby talk]

I looked at the IOConsole.tar that was posted last time, I don't think
i can change every computer I would want to use this on. I have tried
to come up with code in ruby that i could just include, but it looks
like the get calls are limiting me. Is there any one that knows ruby
well enough to produce ruby code to not output what a user types, or
to mask it with * like a password field?

Make this a ruby quiz!!

Thank you
Becker

try this for windows: (im sure I got some of this code from this list,
so thanks to whoever posted it originaly)

require 'Win32API'

kbhit = Win32API.new("crtdll", "_kbhit", [], 'L')
getch = Win32API.new("crtdll", "_getch", [], 'L')


while (1)
a = getch.Call if kbhit.Call != 0
if a
print '*'
a = nil
end
sleep 0.1
end
