YOOCC is still an internal tool; its public release is planned for June 1st.
It will most likely be distributed as a separate product, as part of the
Eiffel Shelf (repository of Eiffel components or tools, contributed
by us or by others).

By the way, for anyone who wants to make it for the first edition of
the Eiffel shelf, the time to submit contributions (classes etc.) is now.
The contact is Tom McCarthy (tmc@eiffel.com).
