Hello all, I’m trying to do non-simple things with Ruby and Tk (on Windows), so is there a better place to ask them? Currently I’m using O’Reilly’s “Mastering Perl/Tk” and only a couple websites, but their information is fairly basic/reference and lacking overall concept explanations… Thanks! ---

From the pictures it clearly wasn’t about cats. Makes me wonder whether Ruby/Tk has some shady sponsors? a ---

Thanks, that’s a start. The google-group link worked fine for me, but the group seems pretty dead. Still, I’ll see what responses I get to my first couple posts. I did find Tkdocs earlier in the day, but the tutorial seems to be most of the information on the site - but I appreciate the information, especially the overview. And maybe the news - the link to the survey on Ruby GUI libraries is interesting. I guess I’ll have to dive into the alternatives in case they can meet my needs better than Tk can. Thanks! -Chris
