I guess that I must have installed the cheat GEM on Ruby 1.8.6, but it was so long ago that I was thinking that it was part of the Ruby base - part of the charm in using Ruby I guess. Anyway it's a quick install right just go to the command prompt : C:Userswinston>gem install cheat the console indicated that all went well [Successfully installed cheat-1.2.1; 1 gem installed; Installing ri documentation for cheat-1.2.1...; Installing RDoc documentation for cheat-1.2.1...] but on testing:C:Userswinston>cheat cheat
| c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cheat-1.2.1/lib/cheat.rb:150:in`cache_dir' |
| uninitialized constant Cheat::PLATFORM (NameError) from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cheat-1.2.1/lib/cheat.rb:16:in `sheets' |

| from c:/Ruby19/bin/cheat:19:in`<main>' |
Not cool, cheat.rb is failing!
Again, looking around the net the fix appeared to be Edit c:Ruby19librubygems1.9.1cheat-1.2.1libcheat.rb and change
| PLATFORM =~ /win32/ ? win32_cache_dir : File.join(File.expand_path("~"), ".cheat") to |
| RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /win32/ ? win32_cache_dir : File.join(File.expand_path("~"), ".cheat") |
| and then test: |
| C:Userswinston>cheat cheat |
