   SmallEiffel Acknowledgments
   
   
   
   *** Frank ARNAUD: bug report of test_tag1.e. Reported a problem with
   Windows NT / Microsoft C / empty struct. Reported a bug about
   renaming/redefinition of Eiffel externals. New maintainer of the
   Eiffel FAQ. *** Eric BEZAULT: lots of really good (short!) bug
   reports: rename/select, statically computed expressions, weird uses of
   inheritance clause, insisted to give SmallEiffel a -case_insensitive
   flag... *** Philippe COUCAUD: in charge of the Macintosh-ready
   version. Reported some bugs too. Work on the garbage collector. ***
   Xavier CREGUT: has been using SmallEiffel for a long time. Many bug
   reports. Reported in a very small program a tricky bug dealing with
   inheritance/genericity and VNCG rule. *** Fabrice FRANCESCHI: initial
   sketch of the SmallEiffel Web site; our Web consultant. *** Philippe
   RIBET: fixed a bug in the ensure clause of INTEGER/append_in_format.
   Optimized INTEGER/gcd. Prepared the first precompiled DOS version.
   Debugging of class BIT_N. (Worked with Antoine GUARRIGUES). ***
   Olivier ZENDRA: many advices and discussions about the langage,
   anchored types, memcp of ANSI C, realloc/malloc, garbage collection,
   ... and was here for the very first bootstrap. Worked with me on the
   problem of double/float conversion.

   ** Cyril ADRIAN: fixed some bugs in STD_FILE_READ (read_character,
   read_integer). Found bug of test_req2.e. Found problem with xor.
   Author of spread_illness. Found a bug in character constants, etc.
   (Worked with Antony LE LABOUSSE). ** Nigel BREE: fixed a tricky bug in
   the runtime stack. Improved portability for Windows95/NT. Wrote the
   install script for Windows95/NT. ** Thierry DE CARVALHO: found a bug
   in inspect/when. Fixed a bug in STD_FILE_READ.connect_to. ** Emmanuel
   CECCHET: updates of the Linux executable. Found some bugs in creation
   calls. Provided a lot of useful comments. ** Valery CROIZIER: reported
   bugs (in very numerous mails :-). Provided hints to optimize the C
   code. ** Andre DOHERTY: used to maintain the SmallEiffel ready for OS2
   version. ** Enrico GOBBETTI: many bug reports. ** Antoine GUARRIGUES:
   worked with Philippe RIBET (see above). ** Jean-Marc JEZEQUEL:
   reported some bugs on ARRAY inheritance. Isolated a bug on VNCG. Beta
   testing. ** Alexander KJELDAAS: fixed a bug in INSTALL.CSH. Reported a
   problem with mixed rename/redefine and a problem with run time stack.
   ** Philippe LAHIRE: reported some bugs with repeated inheritance.
   Isolated some problems with select. ** Antony LE LABOUSSE: worked with
   Cyril ADRIAN (see above). ** Jean-Lin PACHERIE: many bug reports. **
   Marc SCALZOLARO: reported some bugs and added some tests for expanded
   class types. ** Fridtjof SIEBERT: for some well isolated bug reports.
   ** Brian STRELIOFF: reported some bugs. Gave me some good hints about
   compatibility with C++ and warning messages of gcc. ** Dan WILDER:
   uploads new versions of SmallEiffel to sunsite (for Linux).
