Vision2 and Unicode

Revision as of 23:14, 18 May 2006 by Dartzki (Talk | contribs) (→‎Resources)


Introduction

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

Resources

Unicode

Development Package

Linux

I assembled a little workbench wich can be used with EiffelStudio 5.6 to make our changes to vison2 and/or base. You can get it here and open it in EiffelStudio.

Windows

Needs to be done by one of our Windows gurus.

Vision2 Ace file

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

  • 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).
