Hi Sabyasachi

There aren't too many ruby programmers in India. Infact, the only one I
know of is Shashank (I don't know where he's based though) and I'm in
Mumbai.

I'm not sure what you mean by "make printouts in windows". If you want to
write into MS Word and format the text, then you could use the WIN32OLE
module to control Word through Automation. Look up the Pickaxe book for
examples. Infact, the Pickaxe book is probably your best bet for starting
out programming in Ruby (including cgi programming with ruby). I've got
the book in .chm format and I could send it over, if you like.

cheers
Vivek
