Hello Vivek, Thanks for your mail. Please send me the book. I wrote about the print outs in RUBY. I need something to make the print outs through the software developed in RUBY. But I think if I have to handle files to generate the output and the print the file then it will not be same in the various OS. I don't know how to make prints through RUBY. Any other option to make print outs without file handling as I stated ( write the output in a file and then make print out of the file)?Thanks Sabyasachi MustafiOn Tue, 04 Nov 2003 Vivek Nallur wrote :>Hi Sabyasachi>>There aren't too many ruby programmers in India.
