1 SmallEiffel uses a negative versionnumbering-scheme... Don't ask me why... :P
2 The first version was v1.0 and was released in 1995.. The last version is
3 0.74, the version before that 0.75 etc..

5 Now this is a bigger problem than the ones mentioned earlier...
6 I REALLY hope they stop this crazyness with SmartEiffel.... :P
