Yes, it's a documented divergence from Haskell 98 in the handling of the Monomorphism Restriction. Workarounds are to give an explicit signature for showln, or to tweak the definition so it's a function: showln x = show x ++ "\n" (or, better) showln x = shows x "\n" _______________________________________________ Hugs-Users mailing list Hugs-Users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-users
