* Software

  Ruby 1.8.7-p72
  Rubygems 
  rails 
  mongrel 
  SQLite 3.6.1
  
  
  You can install gems using the regular
  gem command.
  
* Usage

  1. Run the update_path.cmd script
  
     This will update the necessary paths
     in the use_ruby.cmd script ( and any
     future files ).
     
  2. Run the use_ruby.cmd script
  
     This will drop you into a command
     prompt window with access to ruby,
     irb, gem, rails, and other command
     line tools.
     
  In the Lite version of Flash Rails, all you start out with is
  ruby and irb, and not much more.  There are instructions included
  though for what you can do to get rails installed and make it
  equivalent to the Standard version.    Or, you can just run ruby
  scripts with "ruby scriptname".
  
  In the Standard version, you are ready to create your rails app
  with "rails appname", create an sqlite3 database with "rake db:migrate",
  and run a mongrel server with "mongrel_rails start".
  
  Flash Rails will now integrate with RadRails.  If it finds a .metadata
  folder in the ruby_apps directory, then it will create or edit the
  necessary files to make sure your rails applications, including their
  mongrel or webrick servers, will be updated correctly when you run
  the update_path.exe.  If you put RadRails in a new subfolder in the
  root of the Flash Rails directory, then Flash Rails will even update
  the workspace directory for you.
  
  One more thing, you really must keep all your projects inside the
  ruby_apps folder.  Future enhancements to this script will assume
  that your ruby scripts and rails apps are in their own folders
  in this ruby_apps folder.
  
  Enjoy!  I hope you like my slimmed-down, pure-ruby(ish), portable
  alternative to using Ruby and Ruby On Rails.  If you have any
  questions, best thing is to post it in the forum on the Flash Rails
  site on Rubyforge.
