IDE

If you want to load the vision2 library you should use Eiffel Studio 5.6 as running any vision2 project on Eiffel Studio 5.7 ends in a segmentation fault and the up to date versions can't read any acex files yet. Linux:

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

Windows:

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

I tried as well opening the 5.6 library in 5.7 (as the 5.7 IDE is more advanced) but didn't succeed...

Communication

We agreed to communicate via IRC (orwell.freenode.net/es-vision). For Windows user there are different programs available. For example:

• HydraIRC
• mirc

Linux user (for ex.) one of the following

• xchat
• irssi (console-app.)

after downloading and installing, you can connect to a server with the command

/server <serveradress>

where <serveradress> is (for ex.) orwell.freenode.net (more freenode servers).

to enter our channel, type:

/join #es-vision

also you can set/change your nickname with

/nick <new_nick>

where <new_nick> is you nickname.
