The fact that Eiffle has parameterized classes is fascinating.
I would like to learn more about Eiffel.   What are some recommendations?

What eiffel compilers are available?  I have access to MSDOS, VMS and UN*X.
I would expect that it is very hard to learn a language without having a 
compiler to play with.

I understand that Mr. Meyer has a text book on the subject of OOP but I'm told 
that the book is not exclusivly about Eiffel.  Is there a text devoted to the 
Eiffel programming language?
