SmallEiffel Contributors
*** Frank ARNAUD: bug report of test_tag1.e. Reported a problem with
Windows NT / Microsoft C / empty struct. Reported a bug about
renaming/redefinition of Eiffel externals. New maintainer of the
Eiffel FAQ.
*** Eric BEZAULT: lots of really good (short!) bug reports:
rename/select, statically computed expressions, weird uses of
inheritance clause, insisted to give SmallEiffel a -case_insensitive
flag...
*** Xavier CREGUT: has been using SmallEiffel for a long time. Many
bug reports. Reported in a very small program a tricky bug dealing
with inheritance/genericity and VNCG rule.
*** Fabrice FRANCESCHI: initial sketch of the SmallEiffel Web site.
*** Enrico GOBBETTI: many (excellent) bug reports and many good
bug-fixes .
*** James GRAVES: initial design of exception handling, on which we
based our final implementation. Maintainer of SmallEiffel's RPMs for
RedHat Linux.
*** Philippe RIBET: fixed a bug in the ensure clause of
INTEGER/append_in_format. Optimized INTEGER/gcd. Prepared the first
precompiled DOS version. Debugging of class BIT_N. (Worked with
Antoine GUARRIGUES).
*** S.u.S.E. GNU/Linux: since mid-1998, the S.u.S.E. GNU/Linux
distribution is our main development OS. Indeed, we have already
received for free versions 4.3 to 6.0. Also note that SmallEiffel The
GNU Eiffel Compiler is part of the S.u.S.E. GNU/Linux distribution. We
hope the S.u.S.E. GNU/Linux team will keep up the good work, providing
us with free copies of their distribution ;-)
