NAME

       shoes - interpreter for Ruby files that use the Shoes library

SYNOPSIS

       shoes [options] (app.rb or app.shy)

DESCRIPTION

       Shoes  is  a  very  informal  graphics and windowing toolkit for making
       simple graphical applications written in Ruby.  The  shoes  command  is
       used  to  run  these  applications.   If no application is given on the
       command line, a file browser will  be  opened  to  let  you  pick  one.
       Supported  file  types  are  .rb,  for  plain  Ruby files; or .shy, for
       compressed Shoes YAML archives.

OPTIONS

       This program follow the  usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
       options  starting  with  two  dashes  (‘--’).  A summary of the options
       supported by shoes is included below.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -s, --shy DIRECTORY
