The following appears in an article in the 1991 April FrameWorks: "Many of you have seen the traffic on MacApp.Tech$ discussing the relative merits of C++, Pascal, Eiffel, and whatever else happens to work with MacApp--or will someday." I'm intrigued by what people have been saying about the future prospects of Eiffel on the Mac. Perhaps someone who reads that conference can summarize what's been said?

Perhaps someone who reads that >conference can summarize what's been said? There's nothing earthshaking here. The writer of the above passage is one James Plamandon. James, as any habitue of MacApp.Tech$ can tell you, is an Eiffel freak, and spares no opportunity to make a plug for it. His mentioning of Eiffel above is just another of his attempts to gain mindshare for it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.
