   SmallEiffel Contibutors
   
   
   
   
   *** 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... *** 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. *** James
   GRAVES: initial design of exception handling, on which we based our
   final implementation. Maintainer of SmallEiffel's RPMs for RedHat
   Linux. *** 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).

   ** 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). ** Reimer BEHRENDS: isolated a bug
   about once precomputed functions and many other bugs. ** Nigel BREE:

   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. **

   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. ** Jerome THOEN:
   author of some (optimized) features to avoid memory leaks. ** Dan
   WILDER: uploads new versions of SmallEiffel to sunsite (for Linux).
