If my software works at all on Windows, it will only ever be by accident; it certainly won't fit comfortably into the Windows environment or look-and-feel. If I'm writing a Unix text filter, why should I give up a library or tool that would make my life easier because it's only available on Unix? jcc _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
