Not necessarily. An MVar is a useful tool in place of an IORef. It works well when a given hunk of code is used in a threaded program, but it also works well in a non-threaded program. If they are used correctly, there is no problem. -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
