[comp.lang.eiffel] Looking for Eiffel/C++ postings

bmathews@swift.cs.tcd.ie (02/20/90)

Some time ago (last October, I think), there was a series of postings on the
interfacing of Eiffel and C++. Anybody still got copies which they could
MAIL to me ? 

					Thanks,

						Brian Mathews

P.S. I'm still looking for Eiffel users who have attempted interfacing with
     databases - successfully or otherwise.

I personally know of four different companies who have interfaced Eiffel
with one or more of the major relational database systems. I am sure there
are more around.

Most or all of the developers of the four quoted above have no net access.
At least two of these interfaces seem to be of industrial quality
(which does not necessarily mean ready for release as products).

We are endeavoring to make at least one part of the Eiffel Shelf
(i.e. available through us), or publicly available through some other channels.
These things always take more time than expected.

Given the frequency with which this question is asked, we will post precise
references to sources if and when we get the authors' permission to do so.
