Im running windows 98.
I followed the steps provided by Curt to install ruby.
when typing gem install rails --remote
I got bad command or file name.
I then proceeded to change all .cmd file to .bat file with rename *.cmd
*.bat
I updated ruby gems from 8.3 to 8.11.
I then typed gem install rails --remote, and it worked.
I now try rails -v at the command prompt and it says bad command or file
name.
I changed all the new files in ruby/bin to .bat as well, and when I type
rails -v, I get…

and a stream of others.
I am at a loss. Can anyone advise me on installing ruby/rails on
Windows 98
Thnx in advance,
