Re: mswincontext.zip

Idris,

Thanks. I'm a Mac person at home now, so I'll have to wait until  
tomorrow to give this a try on a windows machine at school. What I'll  
try (unless I get further advice from this list) is download  
mswincontext.zip again, uninstall it, and NOT run first-setup.bat.

Regarding Ruby, I am looking at this page: http://www.ruby-lang.org/ 
en/downloads/, where it seems like I have two options:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29263/ruby186-26.exe

And:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-i386- 
mswin32.zip

Not sure I see anything on this page about "without RubyGems." Any  
advice?

D.
