                      Welcome to Eiffel!

Everyone seriously interested in software engeneering and object
oriented programing should know Eiffel. Eiffel is one of the few
pure object oriented languages and has become famous for its uni-
que features.

Now you have the opportunity to get familiar with the Eiffel without
having to pay a lot of money for the compiler.

The Eiffel/S system is produced by SiG Computer GmbH, Germany. The
first release was in fall '91; the latest major release was in fall
'93. Now we'll release version 2.0 and therefore we've decided to
offer the release 1.3 as shareware.

Eiffel/S is used by thousands of programers world wide. It is used
for small, medium and large scale applications.

For installation instructions see:

    install.dos     -- DOS, Windows and OS/2 installation.
    install.unx     -- Unix installation.
    install.linux   -- Linux installation

Please also read the file 'sharewar.txt' carefully.

We hope you'll enjoy Eiffel/S!
