[QUOTE="Pete, post: 4614104"]
Well, Ruby is definitely not dead on BeOS (nor is BeOS itself...!)
I have v1.8.4 fully functional on my BeOS system, and use it extensively.
(Also available on BeBits -- the software distribution site for the OS.)

I never pursued any later version, because 1.8.4 matches the Pickaxe book,
and that was my main desire -- to have corresponding software and docs.

However, it would be a shame to have BeOS support disappear from the
next version, so I guess I should volunteer myself as a maintainer!
(The BeOS hooks in 1.8.4 BTW were not quite sufficient.  I had to further
modify a few of the sources -- unfortunately long enough ago that I don't
remember all the twists and turns.  I will proceed to dig back...)

[For those unfamiliar with BeOS -- or its current status -- I should note
that it is currently being redeveloped (and renamed) as the open-source OS
'Haiku'.]
