= rwdgutenberg - for rwdtinker and RubyWebDialogs

rwdgutenberg is a bookreading program

The GUI interface used is RubyWebDialogs 

RubyWebDialogs is a platform independent graphical user interface for Ruby applications. It generates HTML and serves it with an internal HTTP server, so you can use your favorite web browser as the front end for your Ruby application. All this means, that it can be used on almost every platform, like Ruby itself. http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubywebdialogs/

== Quick Start
 Start the program by typing 
 ruby init.rb

 Then point your web browser to:
 http://localhost:7705/
 
To exit, press the x inside the browser window.

== Using over a Network
  
To serve the application over your local LAN,change the last line in the
init.rb file to something like:
RwdTinker.file(RWDFile).serve(8080, "-r" ? ".rwduids" : nil)
Then you should be able to login at: http://yourhostname:8080

You have to authorize yourself. The .rwuids example is a string with
the name of the authorization file, relative to the home directory
of the user that started the service. This file has to be in the form of:

user1 = password
user2 = pass phrase

Thus the file .rwduids might contain:

erik = secret

== Requirements:
RubyWebDialogs - I am using 0.0.12 
Ruby I am using version 1.8.2


I have tested this under Linux-Debian kernel 2.6.9

== PROBLEMS:

Closing the browser doesn't terminate the application. You have to use the application's close-button  And terminating the application doesn't terminate the application when running in network mode. You just log out.

Don't use the back-button of the browser! Strange and unpredictable things may and will happen!
