Does anybody know whether in the new release of ISE Eiffel will
be significant improvements with respect to installation in a
typical workstation environment?

The current release (2.3) requires all Eiffel users to have
*write* access to the *installation* directory! This is not
only nonsense because of security aspects but simply
impossible in an environment where software partitions of
file servers are mounted read-only by their clients.

Will it make sense to wait for the new release
(announced for Sept. 30th)?

PS for the impatient:

A few weeks ago a got hands on a *pre*release of the Mjolner
environment for the new (and very powerful) BETA language
for SPARC (final versions for Sun-3, HP 9000, Apollo 3000, and MAC
have been available for some time already). I must say that
I am impressed of the high quality of the implementation.
