As I'm sure others will tell you before it shows up on my newsreader, Eiffel is not a proprietary language. It's controlled by a non-profit consortium (NICE), and is undergoing ECMA standardization. It is true that the extensions that ISE implements in their products tend to get added to the language proper. Java, on the other hand, is proprietary. It's controlled by Sun, unless something else has changed recently. And I believe people are developing OSs with that language. Steve
