OK, i've started one of my own, this is to let you some result.

I've choosen the "NameAndAddress" example where the main.m is called =20
"NameAndAddress_main.m".

first i've tried using a "NameAndAddress_main.rb" to mimic what's in =20
the original Obj_C project then, i've changed the line :

     return RBApplicationMain("rb_main.rb", argc, argv);
to :

     return RBApplicationMain("NameAndAddress_main.rb", argc, argv);

and add a new file "NameAndAddress_main.rb" having the following =20
content :

require 'osx/cocoa'

def NameAndAddress_main_init
   path =3D =
OSX::NSBundle.mainBundle.resourcePath.fileSystemRepresentation
   rbfiles =3D Dir.entries(path).select {|x| /\.rb\z/ =3D~ x}
   rbfiles -=3D [ File.basename(__FILE__) ]
   rbfiles.each do |path|
     require( File.basename(path) )
   end
end

if $0 =3D=3D __FILE__ then
   NameAndAddress_main_init ####### <=3D=3D=3D line 21
   OSX.NSApplicationMain(0, nil)
end

and get the following error :

/Users/yvon/work/CocoaRubyfication/NameAndAddress/build/Default/=20
NameAndAddress.app/Contents/Resources/NameAndAddress_main.rb:21: =20
uninitialized constant NameAndAddress_init (NameError)

then i thought the prob arroses only because i've made use of a upper =20=

case first letter for this file name, then i rearranged all to :

nameAndAddress_main.rb  and everything else accordingly.

and i've discovered, what i've never used before, that a method, =20
within ruby, couldn't start with an upper case letter )))

hopping this could help others,

Yvon
