There are in fact three compilers currently (and one in the works
at Bristol?). You can get them at
nebula.cs.yale.edu : /pub/haskell
ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk : /pub/haskell
ftp.cs.chalmers.se : /pub/haskell
I'm not sure exactly what machines these have ports to.
(ftp and see! 8^)
If you're not already using Gofer, I suggest you start with
it instead. It's got the essentials of Haskell but can run
on just about any machine with a C compiler and a little
memory. In constrast, the Haskell compilers are huge memory hogs.
I think Gofer is available at all the above sites
in the directory /pub/haskell/gofer .

Nope. Haskell 1.2 is the latest (the one you already have).
However, Haskell 1.3 is being developed even as we speak.

caveat:
I just mess around with this stuff and am by no means expert.
For the horse's mouth you should listen to the Haskell Gurus.
