I too would love to have an Eiffel-mode for GNU Emacs. I started to create one for 2.1, but it was not possible, due to the way Emacs creates processes and the interaction with the "security" check done by Eiffel. I was assured by the ISE folks that they would look into the problem. I'm hoping it was fixed in 2.2, but since I haven't received that yet, I don't know. I too, was told on numerous ocassions, that "we will start shipping next Monday". However, we got a call a couple of days ago saying our tape was being made - so I hope to have 2.2 very soon. It will be nice when our industry develops to the point where expected ship dates become more real. I can't speak for ISE and other companies, but where I have worked in the past, the sales and marketing folks seemed to be compelled to make false claims to the customers about shipping dates, even when told by the engineers up front that it just couldn't be done. Maybe if more of us start using Eiffel....:-) -- Jim Gish GTE Laboratories, Inc., Waltham, MA CSNET: jgish@gte.com UUCP: ..!harvard!bunny!jwg1
