It's... Raggle 0.4.0!

Thank you for this. I have a problem though. I've installed
ncurses-ruby(0.9.2), but when I start raggle, the UI has q's and j's
(characters) making up the lines on the border(i.e, not lines,
characters). If I'm making any sense, can you point out what I might
be doing wrong?

I'm on Ubuntu(Hoary), ruby -v is "ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux]".

When I start raggle as "raggle -A" (ASCII mode), the lines are
actually better(though drawn as dashes and pluses).

TIA,
Shajith

Thank you for this. I have a problem though.

Sorry for the noise. It seems to be some problem with terminfo on the
normal xterm. Trying it on a unicode enabled xterm works fine.
Thanks!
