[MacRuby-devel] hotcocoa virus

[Vincenzo Piombo]

Gary,
"Virus" was joke of course, however I changed the name on gist.
I doubt it is a hotcocoa issue, but as soon as I have some time will try to
replicate it with an IB version.

What do you mean by "where you got it" ?  The code is mine, I was trying to
do something along the lines of this
http://www.nongnu.org/gstutorial/en/ch13s04.html.


By the way, do you know where can I find a working drag&drop macruby example
?
