Instiki, as packaged, uses SQLite3 for database. This requires a precompiled SQLite library. instiki.cmd is a shell script that adds the directory containing the SQLite library to the system path, so that Instiki (or, to be more accurate, DBI driver for SQLite) can find it there. Then it calls 'ruby instiki'. You might also copy contents of instiki\lib\native\win32\ to some place that's already on the PATH, such as C:\WINNT\System32\ By the way, that shell script is, indeed, too simple. Double click on it works, but try calling it from another working directory, or passing arguments into it. Not supported. So, if you wants to help this project, here is one thing you can do - a decent launcher script for Win and/or Linux. As far as Windows is concerned, launcher script from Ant is probably a good starting point, it is very comprehensive, as far as I remember. >The OS says this "is not recognized". > Hmm... Any Windows starting from Win NT should recognize it. An older Windows, something like Win 98, wouldn't know what a .cmd file is, but 2000, XP and 2003 all support the .cmd.
