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, Solaris, DOS, OS2, WINDOWS NT/95, Macintosh,
NeXT, Amiga and VMS.
Current distribution includes a compiler (command 'compile'),
a pretty printer (command 'pretty') and other tools (commands
`finder' and `clean').

4 - Bug Reports -
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 includes the bug).
