[http://hackety.org/2008/06/19/stampingExesAndDmgs.html](http://hackety.org/2008/06/19/stampingExesAndDmgs.html) But most apps on the Shoebox are all just Ruby scripts.

The shoes mailing list. Send an e-mail to: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid cc: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid and the listbot will sign you up. It’s usually only about five to ten messages a day, if that’s okay. \_why ---
