I'm with you on the portability :). I'd like to see CC.rb running on
jruby, cruby 1.9 and (if possible) Iron Ruby. The work Brian's been
doing - moving to Rails 2.3 - should go a long way toward making this a
reality.
The good news is that I just ran a build of the CC.rb rails-2.3 branch
using jruby and all the tests pass. The bad news is that the server
fails to start. But it's 3am here so I'm calling it a night.
Thanks!
Sidu.

Not sure about TextPad but most decent text editors and IDEs shouldn't
have a problem it. I develop Ruby on Windows and use RubyMine where
the line ending choice is configurable.

Just out of curiousity, where is the need coming from to convert files
into CRLF form in order to zip them? I've not had problems zipping
said files on Windows no matter what the line ending type, including
files that contained multiple forms.
BTW, one can convert a text file with LF ending to CRLF form by using
the following command:
TYPE input_filename | MORE /E /P > output_filename

Well, from my perspective it would really help if folks wrote portable
code. ;) No real reason not to. Using Ruby should not hinder this
process. We're using JRuby on Windows. Speaking of portability, I've
lost count of the number of times I've seen code that attempts to
determine if you're on Unix/Linux by erroneously making the following
check: "if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin/ ..." which when false leads to
some Unix specific code being invoked. If you're using JRuby on
Windows this check will be false and will cause grief. To be more
robust the check see if the the system constant JRUBY_VERSION is
defined as well. Checking the RUBY_PLATFORM constant only is
insufficient to determine the current OS. I'm rambling...
The file platform.rb in the Cucumber gem is an example of some
friendlier constants that one can emulate. It would be nice to see
something similar incorporated into cc.rb. Just my two cents.
Thanks,
Paul
