But the Haskell98 report says: An ordinary comment begins with a lexeme consisting of two or more consecutive dashes (e.g. --) and extends to the following newline. The comment must begin with a lexeme consisting entirely of dashes, parsed according to the maximal-munch rule. This means that your style of comments (and as it happens, also mine) is perfectly fine, right? This style of comments is not allowed though: --========================================= -- Parser --========================================= Regards, Koen. -- Koen Claessen http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~koen phone:+46-31-772 5424 e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
