<title>Gobo Eiffel Image</title>

<para>
<projectname>Gobo Eiffel Image</projectname>, or <projectname>geimage</projectname>
for short, is an open source tool which is able to embed an image
into an Eiffel class which can then be used in applications using 
<projectname>EiffelVision2</projectname>.
The image will then be compiled into the executable, so that there
is no need to deploy the image file along side the executable
anymore.
