I'm not sure the question makes sense, if "fly" is a method of class Bird, then it can't also be a member of class Penguin. You can of course make instances of Bird without implementing the "fly" method (whether they are also instances of Penguin or not), or by implementing it as "undefined". -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
