Sorry about that. I believe a number of Windows users are also using LuaRocks through Lua for Windows, and not the zip from luarocks.org, so they run it using Lua modules to get the filesystem functionality and these tools do not get tested much. > I'm using wget from the gnuwin32 collection, it seems to work fine. I'll try packing a zip with the suggested files, then. -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
