If any Ruby enthusiasts out there can read Japanese could I please get  
a bit of assistance? There’s an error message I get when running  
scripts using a binary Ruby 1.8.1 install built for Pocket PC. The  
install was downloaded from →   
[ruby-mswince](http://uema2.s8.xrea.com/ruby-mswince/index.html). It seems as if Ruby  
has trouble parsing strings correctly.

Googling around I found some reference to the Wince::Strerror error  
message I’m receiving. But the reference is in Japanese and even  
Babelfish doesn’t translate it too well. This is a grasp at a straw but  
perhaps this could help me solve my problem.

If anyone could help me out I definitely would be grateful 🙂 Below is  
the Google cache of the reference…
