Gobo Eiffel Project |

The main concern of the Gobo Eiffel Project is to provide the Eiffel community with free and portable Eiffel tools and libraries. That way, you can still use your favorite Eiffel compiler while taking advantage of the goodies included in Gobo Eiffel.

Gobo Eiffel 3.4 already consists of thirteen Eiffel libraries:

- Gobo Eiffel Kernel Library
- Gobo Eiffel Structure Library
- Gobo Eiffel Lexical Library
- Gobo Eiffel Parse Library
- Gobo Eiffel Pattern Library
- Gobo Eiffel Regexp Library
- Gobo Eiffel Math Library
- Gobo Eiffel String Library
- Gobo Eiffel Test Library
- Gobo Eiffel Time Library
- Gobo Eiffel Tools Library
- Gobo Eiffel Utility Library
- Gobo Eiffel XML Library

and nine utilities:

- Gobo Eiffel Ant (geant)
- Gobo Eiffel Xace (gexace)
- Gobo Eiffel Lex (gelex)
- Gobo Eiffel Yacc (geyacc)
- Gobo Eiffel Test (getest)
- Gobo Eiffel XSLT Processor (gexslt)
- Gobo Eiffel Lint (gelint)
- Gobo Eiffel Preprocessor (gepp)
- Gobo Eiffel XML Splitter (gexmlsplit)

Note that these utilities are not needed if you just want to use the library classes provided in this package (unless you got the classes from CVS).

The supported Eiffel compilers, in alphabetical order, are: ISE Eiffel 5.5.1012 and 5.6.1108 (Classic and .NET), SmartEiffel 1.0 and 2.2b1, Visual Eiffel 5.0b (Build 2508). For more details about the supported Eiffel compilers, please see the `Readme.txt``` and `Release_notes.txt``` files. This software might also work with other Eiffel compilers and/or other compiler versions, however no test has been made yet.

A list of the known defects along with eventual bug fixes or workarounds is available. If you find a bug which does not appear in this list yet, please send me a bug report. I will add the description of this bug here and try to provide a bug fix as soon as possible (usually within one or two days). You can also subscribe to the Gobo Eiffel mailing list and take part to the discussions or ask your questions there. Another mailing list for discussions about the features under development in the CVS version is hosted at SourceForge.

Gobo Eiffel can be downloaded from various FTP sites worldwide. The development version of the Gobo project is also available via CVS from SourceForge.
