System configuration



System customisation is performed thanks to the "system.se" file.

At startup, SmallEiffel first looks in the file "system.se", which must be in the directory "bin". This file holds the current system, or platform, name ("UNIX", "Windows", "Macintosh", "DOS", "OS2", "Amiga", "VMS", ...).
To have the full list of the currently supported systems, just put a bad system name in the file "system.se" and then run for example command compile

When the system name is correctly set in the file "system.se", SmallEiffel performs some automatic customisations. For example, if the "system.se" file contains the string "DOS", SmallEiffel uses the suffix ".BAT" for script files and the suffix ".EXE" for executables files.
