- I would be VERY interested in exactly the same setup for my home machine.
- Is there any hope of having a CHEAP eiffel license for home users?
- At the moment the eiffel licenses are cheap for commercial users (in
- relation to most other stuff) but still too expensive for home users.
-
- If enough home users get to use eiffel then it is bound to make it into
- many more companies so that giving eiffel away to home users should make
- commercial sense!
