I will, just give me day or two. I am using gem version, not svn or git.
I did some stuff with them but never with ruby. Can you give me two
lines help what to install and where? Latest svn?

Sorry I am not _that_ helpful but ruby is new thing to me. I should be
able to test this soon enough with some help.

Thanks,
Dusan
