+# The Platform library offers a simple, reliable, means of
+# determining what platform Ruby is running on.  Underlying
+# Platform is the RUBY_PLATFORM constant.  This library is
+# parsing this constant for information.  You could easily do
+# this yourself.  We've just taken the hassle out of it for
+# you and hopefully covered a few of the more unusual cases
+# you mightn't have thought of yourself.
+#
+# On the other hand, if you've got cases we haven't please
+# mail the authors.

+
+# == Platform
+#
+# Platform is a simple module which parses the Ruby constant
+# RUBY_PLATFORM and works out the OS, it's implementation,
+# and the architecture it's running on.
+#
+# The motivation for writing this was coming across a case where
+#
+# +if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /win/+
+#
+# didn't behave as expected (i.e. on powerpc-darwin-8.1.0)
+#
+# It is hoped that providing a library for parsing the platform
+# means that we can cover all the cases and have something which
+# works reliably 99% of the time.
+#
+# Please report any anomalies or new combinations to the author(s).
+#
+# == Use
+#
+# require "platform"
+#
+# defines
+#
+# Platform::OS (:unix,:win32,:vms,:os2)
+# Platform::IMPL (:macosx,:linux,:mswin)
+# Platform::ARCH (:powerpc,:x86,:alpha)
+#
+# if an unknown configuration is encountered any (or all) of
+# these constant may have the value :unknown.
+#
+# To display the combination for your setup run
+#
+# ruby platform.rb
