New Eiffel development system released

New Eiffel development system released

[Birgit Becher]

A revolutionary new Eiffel system has been developed by the German 
software
company Halstenbach ACT GmbH. The product, named iss-base, is, according 
to the
company, "one of the most powerful object-oriented visual development 
systems
currently available".

iss-base, which is running under MS Windows 95, MS Windows NT, SVR4, 
HP-UX, AIX,
SCO UNIX, Sinix, and SUN Solaris, contains a number of components:

iss-bench is an interactive tool containing the Eiffel compiler, an 
automatic
dependency checker, source code debugger, object inspector, as well as 
powerful
browsing capabilities.

iss-build is an interactive dialog and application builder, enabling the 
user to
easily construct so-called TUNE templates which serve as reusable and 
redefinable
building blocks for assembling graphical user interfaces. iss-build is 
the
graphical front-end for iss-vision, the underlying user interface 
management
system targeted to Microsoft Windows platforms. The TUNE system provides 
a number
of facilities like dynamic layout and configuration of graphical objects, 
an
integrated message system, and many hooks for integrating application 
specific
classes.

iss-libraries contain a multitude of reusable components: iss-baselib is 
the
implementation of numerous basic data structures and algorithms as Eiffel
classes; iss-store delivers the entirety of ODBC functionality over 
Eiffel
classes; and iss-net enables the user to develop client/server 
applications in a
heterogeneous environment.

iss-system-licence, with its integrated Garbage Collector, is needed to 
execute
the applications developed with iss-base.
 
iss-base is currently available as version 1.5. The company offers a 
"Private
Licence" to individuals and students which is available for US$ 199,- and 
offers
the same functionality as the commercial version.

Further information can be obtained at the Website of Halstenbach ACT
(http://www.halstenbach.de) or via e-mail (info@halstenbach.de). The 
information
is currently available in German; an English version is under 
construction and
will be available soon.

Hi,

Just curious and interested,
Thorsten

Wow!  Two completely new Eiffel environments for Windows announced within 4
weeks.

I wonder what will happen next week?

Paul.

Too bad, this development kit is not available for Linux and DEC? 
For research purposes it would be fine to get this, too. 
Linux for the students (like me) at home, DEC for university sites. 

But who knows what time will bring, that I can do the eiffel stuff 
at home an carry it to my office.. 

best regards,

Which compiler is in use ?
Is it a **new** compiler ?    
Is it the ISE compiler (or ISE-like compiler) ?
Really revolutionary ?

It is the ISE compiler.

There is a concept to integrate WINDOW 95 / NT ressources.

Ich werde fur die Englischer [version waiten] weil mein Deutsch ist sehr
schrecklich! Du musst glaube dass auch. :)
