EiffelBase 4.2 source code!

This site contains older material on Eiffel. For the main Eiffel page, see http://www.eiffel.com.

On August 4, 1998, as part of the Eiffel Summit at TOOLS USA '98, Interactive Software Engineering will release Free EiffelBase, making its flagship EiffelBase library publicly available at no cost to anyone.

Full source code now available

To prepare for this release and allow the software engineering community to become familiar with EiffelBase, we are making available in advance the entire source code of EiffelBase.

This set of 170 pages (covering 14 clusters and 145 classes) has been entirely generated by the automatic generation mechanism of ISE's EiffelBench environment, through its HTML filter. (Other filters include ASCII, RTF, TEX, FrameMaker, Troff etc.; users can define filters for any desired text processing format.)

Graphical map

Watch this space for a graphical "map" to the library, produced the with EiffelCase analysis and design workbench, to be added in the next few days.

Copyright status

The source posted here is the ISE Eiffel 4.2 version, still covered by the terms of the standard ISE end-user license. Free EiffelBase will be covered by a license enabling anyone to use the library without any monetary obligations to ISE.
