D.Colnet 10/2/94 -- Is it still Eiffel ? -- 1 - What is SmallEiffel ? - SmallEiffel is a free Eiffel compiler distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. You can download SmallEiffel at : ftp://ftp.loria.fr/pub/loria/genielog/SmallEiffel 2 - Brief Description of SmallEiffel - SmallEiffel is the fruit of a research project done at CRIN (Centre de Recherche en Informatique de Nancy). SmallEiffel is intended to be a complete, though small and very fast, free Eiffel compiler. SmallEiffel is already used by students of the University Henri Poincare' at Nancy (FRANCE). We are using Eiffel as a first langage for teaching OOP since 1990 (SmallEiffel is used since september 1995). SmallEiffel is already portable on UNIX, Linux, BSD, HP-UX, IRIX, XENIX, DOS, OS2, WINDOWS 95, Macintosh and NeXT. Current distribution includes a compiler (command 'compile'), a pretty printer (command 'pretty') and other tools (commands `finder' and `clean'). An Eiffel interpretor (command 'eval') will be added to the distribution in a few months. 3 - Contents of the SmallEiffel directory - 3.1 - directory misc : Miscellaneous files including the INSTALL file. 3.2 - directory man : Miscellaneous help files. 3.3 - directory bin : The binary place including the `compile' command. 3.4 - directory bin_c : C source code for tools of bin directory. 3.5 - directory lib_std : Standard Eiffel Library (string.e, integer.e, general.e, array.e, ...). 3.6 - directory lib_show : Demonstration and examples Eiffel programs. 3.7 - directory lib_test : Set of program to tests SmallEiffel (see also directory misc/self_test). 4 - Bug Report - Thank in advance for bug reports. Don't forget to have a look first in the misc/NOT_YET_IMPLEMENTED file. Please, try to isolate the bug as much as possible. The best is to be able to create a single file, as small a possible (which include the bug). D.Colnet - colnet@loria.fr
