Dear Mike, some automatic translation program gave the following translation of this page: [http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?Rb2Exe](http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?Rb2Exe), * * * Rb2exe is the front end of Exerb where Yuya is developed. It is included in ASR-1.8.5.x beforehand. In addition when it installs, it is registered to the start menu. Rb2exe.zip Environment rb2exe designates that ruby.exe and exerb.bat and mkexy.bat are installed to the identical directory as prerequisite. In addition, it is necessary for ActiveScriptRuby to be installed. However, when the execution of HTA is prohibited, it cannot execute. Rb2exe.hta which utilization methodological installation rb2exe.zip is downloaded either, develops in the suitable directory or doing, is housed directly is removed. You are not concerned the arrangement directory of rb2exe.hta anywhere. It starts with double click and the like from the starting explorer. When rb2exe operation methodological mkexy mode (レシピファイル formation)“mkexy” is selected in command, it becomes mkexy mode. The script file which forms script file レシピファイル (extension rb) it appoints. Command mkexy or exerb is selected. When require it has done the other script, please appoint mkexy. The character code usually it means to select sjis or utf8, probably will be. Script execution parameter mkexy one time executes the script file which is appointed. This time, the parameter which becomes necessary for the execution of the script is input. Processing is started with execution click. The contents which you reset input are reset. When it succeeds in the formation of レシピファイル, the execution result of the script (output contents) with, the レ ã‚· ピ file which is formed is indicated. Continuing, appointing レシピファイル which is formed, when it executes Exerb, please click “the Exerb” button. When it succeeds in formation, execution completion indication of exerb mode of the next section is done. When Exerb is not executed, please click message. It returns to the original picture. When “exerb” is selected in command, it becomes exerb mode. レシピファイル which forms the script file executable file (extension exy) or the script file (extension rb) it appoints. Command mkexy or exerb is selected. When require it has done the other script, appointing mkexy, first please draw up レシピファイル. The character code usually it means to select sjis or utf8, probably will be. It is the stub cord/code which is used for the formation of the core executable file (later description). Processing is started with execution click. The contents which you reset input are reset. When compilation completes, the completion picture is indicated. To return to the operation picture, please click message indication. When error indication it becomes error the execution time of exerb or mkexy, the error reason is indicated. To return to the operation picture, please click the error indicatory department. Type cui of core feasibility console application is formed independently. Gui feasibility non console application is formed independently. Because you cannot use standard input-output, error message of the time of exceptional is indicated with the dialogue box. The execution time cuirt the execution time library (exerb40. dll) the console application which is utilized is formed. The execution time guirt the execution time library (exerb40. dll) the non console application which is utilized is formed. Because you cannot use standard input-output, error message of the time of exceptional is indicated with the dialogue box. The execution time library of Exerb, in case of the ASR package, is housed in ruby installation directory \share\exerb. When the plural executable files are drawn up, when execution time library edition is formed, it can control the file size which is necessary for distribution. Because source rb2exe is HTA, it is possible to refer to directly. The source is referred to (rb2exe. hta). * * * Best regards, Axel
