Re: GHCi and Windows 98

2006-12-07 Thread Neil Mitchell

Hi Steven,

If you are just getting started, and GHC is giving you no luck, try
Hugs (in particular WinHugs) which does work on Win98.

Thanks, this is fixed, I think:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/976
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/970

is that the same problem?
