ISE, the creators of the object-oriented language Eiffel, recently
posted a very basically modified version of Omohundro's Eiffel mode.
This is a revision that adds a number of interesting features and simply
works a good deal better.  It may no longer conform to ISE's indentation
conventions which are extremely wasteful of whitespace, but it
definitely makes the code easier to read, and of course the basic unit
of indentation is controlled by a variable.  Here's to readable, well
documented code.

How many people would be interested in an efficient, Smalltalk-like
browser (but better) for Eiffel that runs entirely within GNU Emacs  (no
X windows or vt100 necessary)?  Let me know since it's already finished.
