Btw, if you're dumping large structures to disk, using Read/Show is a bad idea :) Use NewBinary, at a minimum, or one of the other serialisation modules (possibly the one used in HAppS based on bytestrings) would be a better option. Read/Show is good for testing that the serialising code works, though. -- Don _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
