I'm not sure what the 'rules' are on the other groups to which this advertisement was posted, but in c.l.s we generally frown on long advertising posts. It's been discussed at length in the past and the agreement, as I recall, was that short announcements of new things is OK, but they should point to where more info can be found rather than being sales brochures themselves. Part of it is in the tone; announcements are OK but advertising is not: >Halstenbach's iss-base 3.0 is a major new release with many new features >and improvements, making it the outstanding Eiffel compiler for commercial >use.
