cooloptions version 1.1.0 has been released! [http://cooloptions.rubyforge.org/](http://cooloptions.rubyforge.org/) As a huge fan of optparse due to its flexibility, self-documenting nature, and ease of use, I nevertheless found myself doing almost the exact same thing with it over and over again, and decided to write a thin wrapper around it to handle the common cases. Thus CoolOptions was born. CoolOptions is a simple wrapper around optparse that provides less configuration and more convenience for doing command-line option handling. Changes: == 1.1.0 / 2007-01-10 - Incremented the version number to more rationally reflect the addition of CoolOptions#desc in 1.0.5. - Fixed handling of overlapping automatic short options. – Nathaniel T. \<:((\>\< ---

Hi Nathaniel, I just tried to install cooloptions (sound like I should have it 🙂 and get the following output: D:\programme\ruby\ruby182\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\>gem inst hoe --remote Install required dependency zentest? [Yn] Install required dependency hoe? [Yn] Install required dependency zentest? [Yn] Install required dependency hoe? [Yn] … Could it be that there is circular dependency that gem cannot handle? Is there some option (of gem) to load all dependent gems as well and not asking for it? Bye Markus On Wed, 10 Jan 2007 23:56:19 +0100, Nathaniel T.

Once i test it out a bit, hopefully I can hack something together. Thanks again! -greg [0] [http://tinyurl.com/ygm355](http://tinyurl.com/ygm355) ---
