I've been looking at the documentation and I don't see a lot of info about 
Ruby bindings.  Do you have any good pointers on using it with Ruby?

It's not what I know that counts, it's what I can remember in time to use.

Well. The English documentation for it is just about existant as many 
projects for ruby, nunca :) Do what every BSD says to do, "Read the 
source" *chuckle* Actually, I had to just play with it. There is 
documentation, but not like you would expect. It makes me laugh to think 
what NaHi was telling me how he loved learning from examples than he 
does reading documentation. =)

Pointers? You just drag and drop and click on generate code and it does 
it for you. Even for events, you have to use the instances panel and 
poke around. It generates all code you need. One problem I currently 
have though is the lack of small binary distributions. As you will 
notice the Windows download is approximately 100MB. Also there are no 
prebuilt binaries. I might just have to create some rpms, it bothers me. 
The on;y reasons I use it is for; 1) its the most cross-platform I have 
ever seen 2) the designer, and 3) the great license.

The cross platform surprises me that it works well on any platform I 
have tried. I haven't tried on embedded platforms, but am eager to try 
it out.

Oh, btw. Most of the original comments were stripped out of the code. 
You probably wouldn't be able to read them anyway, they are in Japanese.

Btw, it explains the method definitions and api in the documentation. 
Its not in Ruby, but that shouldn't matter as long as its understandable.
 
On my system its located file:///usr/local/ws/doc/C/ht-ref/objects.html
