Eidolon was written by Dr Habib Zaidi in collaboration with Alix Hermann Scheurer (first release).
It was revised in 2001 by Frédéric Schoenahl with the grateful help of Karoly Makony (University of Budapest, Hungary) and Claude Comtat (SHFJ, France) for some compatibility and data format problems.
Eidolon is written in Objective C, a very elegant language which is implemented on NeXTStep OS. However, using it on other systems is not easy.
The GNUstep project attempts to adapt the NeXT environment for gnu-linux and unix systems.

The documentation of Eidolon is now divided in two parts: the user guide contains the required background and useful informations concerning PET and the way the Simulator works.
The second part is useful for developpers and contains a more detailed description of the sources. A second document is dedicated to the use of the GNU debugger GDB with Obj-C.
For compatibility problems have a look at the credits section.
