I am very sorry for not having responded to [1]. I had planned to do it, but forgot about it.

That sounds good, it would however be interesting to find out what your criteria is (what you are looking for) and how your tool satisfies them. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
