Announcing Eiffel language mailing list

Announcing Eiffel language mailing list

[Dave Yost]

Announcing a mailing list for discussion
of the Eiffel object-oriented language
and environment.
\f
In case you haven't heard of Eiffel, it is a strongly-typed,
Object-oriented general purpose programming language with
emphasis on compile-time checking.  It has generic types
(often caled parameterized types), multiple inheritance,
incrementally-garbage-collected automatic storage, and
exception handling.  Eiffel is a recent design, not an
extension of any previous language.  It is described in
this book:
    Object-oriented Software Construction
    by Bertrand Meyer
    Prentice Hall, 1988
    International Series in Computer Science
    ISBN 0-13-629049-3 hardcover
    ISBN 0-13-629031-0 paperback (apparently
    won't be available in the US)

Special Instructions:

on your system so we can add that to our list
instead of adding individual user names.
