====== eiffel-new from command line======

''eiffel-new'' is a command line program on our Prism workstations (and the SEL Virtual Machine) to create a new Eiffel project with void safe settings and including the Espec unit testing framework and Mathmodels.

<code>
> eiffel-new
New Eiffel void-safe project name: fizzbuzz
Use:  estudio19.05 fizzbuzz/fizzbuzz.ecf &
> ls
fizzbuzz/
> cd fizzbuzz/
> ls
fizzbuzz.ecf  model/        root/         tests/
> estudio fizzbuzz/fizzbuzz.ecf & 
 -- starts EiffelStudio IDE
end
</code>

The command prompts you for a project name (e.g. ''fizzbuzz'') and then creates a folder called fizbuzz with a root class (file ''root.e''), a test class TEST_EXAMPLE (file ''test_example.e'') and an ECF file.

At the command line execute ''estudio fizzbuzz/fizzbuzz.ecf & ''. The IDE is invoked and will ask for a directory in which to place the EIFGEN files.

Compile the program (F7) and you should see:

You can see how to set up a unit tests (in the image we show a test of base class ARRAY[G]).

If you run the tests (''Run'', i.e. F5) you obtain a report on the success (green bar) or failure (red bar) of your project.

If you want to develop an algorithm for "fizzbuzz" the create a class in the ''model'' cluster and test it with a test in TEST_EXAMPLE.
