Well you have driven SmartEiffel to it's limits. That is one Eiffel implementation. So I'm not sure what had happened if you had used ISE-Eiffel or maybe Visual Eiffel. However what definitly should be said. I never would have started using SmartEiffel for that kind of job. That you managed it just show IMHO how far one can get while using DBC extensivly. Just for those not knowing SmartEiffel. Smarteiffel is a Commmand Line interface compiler, with just a few tools. What you would call a decent IDE is not available. Debugging is a mess, Browsing is as hard as can be etc. Well I probably should stop posing about Eiffel here.... Regards Friedrich -- Please remove just-for-news- to reply via e-mail.
