The free hugs98 is pre-release so I'm keeping the stable non-free version around. When hugs98 is released for good (upstream deadline for that is Feb 99), I'll rename hugs98 into hugs and the old hugs shall be forgotten. (Around the same time hugs-doc will disappear too, so we shall hope the ftpmasters will have processed haskell-doc by then...) In related note, according to unofficial information from Simon Peyton Jones (the primary author of GHC), the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) will become free RSN. Currently GHC has no license. I've tried to bootstrap it but it is so big a beast that I'll probably let it pass. I hope someone else packages it when it becomes free. Most third-party packages for Haskell have no license, which is sad. This includes IIRC GreenCard (a uniform foreign language interface for the more popular implementations) and TkHaskell (a Tk-based GUI library). Somebody should start pestering the authors about this so we'll get a good set of Haskell development tools for woody (or potato if we're lucky). -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho A7 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** <URL:http://www.iki.fi/gaia/> ** The FAQ is your friend.
