A new builtin is needed. Eq and Show are implemented using eqRecRow and showRecRow in Hugs.Trex, which are picked up in trexLoad() and used in primRecEq and primRecShw. See also addRecEqInst() and addRecShowInst(). Ord would need something similar. First you'd have to decide what it should mean. _______________________________________________ Hugs-Users mailing list Hugs-Users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-users
