MISCELLANEOUS:

The class name of the main class in Eiffel source files should match the
file name of the source file (not case sensitive).

User preferences are stored in a directory ~/.es in user's home directories.

May require a large amount of workspace- from about 50 meg for simple, 
non-graphic applications to several hundred meg (or more) for graphical
ones. The compiler builds many auxiliary files and binaries for each project.

To run the "tour" tutorial: copy the directory
../Eiffel_16.05/examples/studio/tour contents to a location where you have write
permission, and launch estudio from there.
