But there you can get it to run in a nifty GUI if you run it with a
command line argument.

In a cmd window you can do this:
  test.rb --runner=t

You can also create a shortcut to your test and then edit the target
in the properties to include this argument. Then when you double click
on it, it will run in its GUI.

  Target: C:\workspace\watir\unittests\div_test.rb --runner=t

Everybody should actually give this a try. It looks cool!

You might also look at Atomic Objects' "SYSTIR" project as well:

You might give Selenium a try: http://www.openqa.org/selenium/  It's a
little fussier than Watir (and is missing some things that Watir has,
like support for frames), but it might serve your purposes.
