BTW: There isn't an easy way to magically derive opTable. We're relying on the fact that these simple functions all have the same type.

You could also do myeval x y op = case op of "+" -> x + y "-" -> x - y ... is probably the "smallest" way. Ben. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
