It opens and closes each file in turn; but it would it be unwise to open and close each file as we'd read a chunk from it? This would allow arbitrary interleaving. -- Jason Dusek _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
