	INTERACTIVE AND TARVYDAS-SANFORD CONTROLS, INC.

	ANNOUNCE AGREEMENT FOR PORTING EIFFEL 

	ON MS-DOS OPERATING SYSTEM


SANTA BARBARA, CA - JULY 26, 1990
Interactive Software Engineering announced today that it has
signed a formal agreement with Tarvydas-Sanford Controls, Inc.
of Toronto, Ontario, Canada for porting its implementation
of Eiffel to the MS-DOS operating system.

(...)

``Eiffel is clearly the best object-oriented programming
language with large emphasis geared toward software
engineering,'' said Paul Tarvydas,
president of Tarvydas-Sanford Controls, a consulting firm
specializing in compilers and real-time system design.
``We are excited about bringing
quality software engineering techniques and the
productivity of object-oriented programming to the
MS-DOS world.''

According to Bertrand Meyer, president of Interactive,
``The most frequently asked question about Eiffel is:
`When is Eiffel going to be available on MS-DOS?'
Paul Tarvydas and his colleagues are experts
in Eiffel technology, and we are thrilled that they will
be the ones bringing Eiffel to the DOS world.
Together with the ongoing ports to VMS and MacOS,
and the constant enhancement of the current
Unix implementations, this development will be a key step in
making Eiffel available on the major computing platforms''.

(...)

Tarvydas-Sanford Controls is planning to provide a
Windows 3 class library with the MS-DOS product.
