I am learning Eiffel through a graduate course in OOLs at North Carolina State
(via National Technological University), and have just gotten Interactive's
Eiffel compiler version 2.3 installed on my Sun 3 workstation.  In going 
through the "guided tour" of "Eiffel: The Environment", however, I am having
trouble getting the "point1" class to compile.  I have followed the directions
to the letter, and "short point1" works fine, but watch this:

skibum:/home/apollo/johnt/eiffel/guided_tour <77> ec point1.e
point1 not found in any of the directories
	specified with -n option.
*** ec: compilation canceled

The current directory contains all the $EIFFEL/examples/GUIDED_TOUR files,
including point1.e.  What gives?  Is something wrong with the installation?

I must add that from what I've seen so far about Eiffel, I'm impressed.  C++
and Ada (both of which I have had much experience with) can eat dirt if I can
ever get a program to compile...  ;-)
