NICE (the Non-profit International Consortium for Eiffel)
is proud to announce the Eiffel Struggle '98. After last
years success, the second edition of this competition will
be a great opportunity for the contestants to exercise their
Eiffel skills. More information about this contest can
be found at the Eiffel Liberty Journal at:

   http://www.elj.com/eiffel/struggle98/

There is over $US3,000 in cash prizes and approximately
$US10,000 in Eiffel products, books and TOOLS Conference
expenses.

The contest is not only organised for Eiffel gurus, but
more importantly for those of you who are new to Eiffel
and are still discovering (or want to discover) this
great software development method and language. This is
a big chance for Ada, C++, Java, Sather OO developers to
show off their OO skills in Eiffel.

The above link also provides some useful ``Eiffel:
Getting Started'' links:

   -- eg, online documentation, compilers (GNU,
   -- evaluation, commercial), Eiffel libraries,
   -- How to get started on Win32API, WEL, etc].

comp.lang.eiffel and the Eiffel Forum (an International
User Group - see below) Mailing List are good places to ask
experienced Eiffel developers any questions about getting
started or about Eiffel in general.

One of the winning entries from last year's Struggle
includes an ``Eiffel Observer Library'', which is described
in an Eiffel Liberty Article at;

We hope to hear from you soon.

Let the Struggle begin ..
