Vision2 and Unicode


Introduction

Have a look at the description made for the WEL library. The same applies to EiffelVision2.

Resources

Unicode


Vision2 Ace file & Vision2 project

Linux:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory $ISE_EIFFEL/precomp/spec/linux-x86/vision2/

Windows:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory %EIFFEL-ROOT%/precomp/library/spec/windows/vision2/

Instead of loading just the vision2 ace file it's more usefull (at least while getting to know the code) to create a new project that uses the vision2 libraries
