point. For now, I can build gem packages and that was what I mostly need in
order to do some additional install testing on the new initializer
mechanisms. You'll just have to continue to be the one and only
release-build guy for the moment.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=518011418-14062006>IMHO [ha], MS should be deeply embarassed that
despite decades of proven value of unix command shells, Windows has... the
brain-damaged DOS box. At the PDC last fall, they proudly announced
they're finally going to address this in Vista (but only if you buy VS or MSDN
subscription, wasn't clear that they intended to include the new shell scripting
capability in the main Vista product). amazing.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I wish I knew more about minitar and such. I just started from what
others had done and it worked. I hadn't tried the build on win32 though. It is
sad that many of these tools aren't there. <BR></BODY></HTML>
