[comp.lang.eiffel] How do I start?

Hello Eiffel Folks,
	I know very little about Eiffel, other than the fact that a lot of
people would rather use it than C++.  Being a frustrated C++ user,  I'd like
to know more.  In particular, how do I get an Eiffel Compiler on my machine(s),
Sun3, Sun4, VaxStation, AT&T 3b1, DS3100.....  I understand there is version of
Eiffel which generates C code as output.  Is this public domain stuff?  Is 
there an FTP site?  Also, are there any good books on Eiffel?

Much thanks,
