Announcing the release of Yale Haskell 2.0.5a
We are releasing the latest version of the Yale Haskell system. This
release will be of the Sparc executable for SunOS 4.1.3 only. We are
still cleaning up the documentation and testing the system. We expect
a full source release to occur in a few weeks. We hope to make
precompiled executables based on CMU Common Lisp available for other
machines then.
This is a preliminary release: expect an upgraded release soon.
This release features an optional X window interface. The binary
containing X window support is available.
Our system is available for anonymous ftp from the Yale Haskell ftp site:
Site Host name Raw IP address
Yale nebula.cs.yale.edu 128.36.13.1
The files are in the directory pub/haskell/yale.
Two files are available:
haskell-sparc-413.zip -- The sparc executable, SunOS 4.1.3
haskell-x-sparc-413.zip -- The sparc executable with X window, SunOS 4.1.3
You should only need one of these files. The executable is ready to
run with only a minor amount of installation (none at all if you
replace an old Yale system with this one).
To obtain Yale Haskell via ftp:
- Move to the directory where you intend to place Yale Haskell
- Ftp to one of the sites and login anonymously
- cd to pub/haskell/yale
- Get the zip file: get xxx.zip where xxx is the distribution you want
- Unzip the file: (your zip utility may have a different name)
unzip haskell-*
- Consult the documentation for further instructions. Either print
out the reference manual in doc/manual/haskell.dvi or look at
install.verb in the same directory.
