## OK, it’s been a long absence. And ruby-lang is online! And my nick is in the credits! Ohhhhhh, that feels wonderful! Well, I’m switching to a brand new MacBook Pro since I managed to solve my last remaining Windows problems (VMs are a wonder) and I have my first question: Can I make dropable scripts in Ruby? (you know, the ones where you just pick something and drop it on the script icon and voila! it works) What do I need for it? Thanks, V.- [http://www.braveworld.net/riva](http://www.braveworld.net/riva) ---

I think [Platypus](http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus) will fit what you are looking for. There is a ?is droppable? option. – Daniel
