If there are any wrappers in ruby or a ruby based alternative please  
send my a link. I searched through the usual ruby code sites and did not  
find anything. BTW, I am not looking for a search engine.

If not I’ll start work on my own.

thanks

Erik

It looks like the OTS has a command-line tool, so you ought to be able  
to just pipe in and out of that pretty easily.
