  • yeeah, you probably won't have a good time trying to port this app. Take `win32-eventlog`, for example. I'm pretty sure that it's *very* windows-specific. On the other hand, there are gems that are linux-only and won't work on windows. Why exactly do you want to change the platform? – Sergio Tulentsev Jan 18 '13 at 06:04
  • Yes I am trying really hard to migrate this application.Could you tell me why these gems were used and should I install it or leave it? – Chitrank Samaiya Jan 18 '13 at 06:08

    "Could you tell me why these gems were used?" - how would *I* know? It's your app, you have the code :) – Sergio Tulentsev Jan 18 '13 at 06:08
  • Hey Sergio Thanks I will look into it and soon will disturb you again :) – Chitrank Samaiya Jan 18 '13 at 06:29
