Re: [pbmserv] For linux-using xiangqi players!

[joss <joss@nekrodomos.net>]

Hello Jian,

I wrote this program under Linux using a programming language called Ruby.

I have been told that my program _will_ run under WindowsXP, but you 
will have to install both Ruby and Ruby/GTK2 first. There seems to be a 
guide for this at the following website:

http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows

I will try it myself later today. If it works, I will reply again and 
update my website to mention this.

I am glad that you are interested in my program, and I hope that it 
works for you!

Joss
