              Eon/Eiffel           A Shareware Eiffel Compiler                



WARNING! This is the first beta test release of Eon/Eiffel and should be
used with that in mind. Problems and omissions are listed in the RELNOTES
file.


If you have not come across Eiffel before it is an Object Oriented Language
designed by Bertrand Meyer. It's objective is to allow large, high quality
applications to be developed and maintained.


Eon/Eiffel is available as a shareware product on MSDOS and Linux and as
a commercial product on other Unix systems.


If you do not have any Eiffel experience you will require a tutorial book. 
Such books are listed in the distribution documentation. There is no tutorial
included.


Eon/Eiffel produces C++ as an intermediate code, so you will need a C++ 
compiler. Currently, only DJGPP and Borland are supported
