Hi Duncan

With ghc-6.4 the output from Debug.Trace.trace will be redirected to the debug console when the application is compiled with --subsystem windows. You can see the trace messages with any Windows debuger. The error messages from any uncaught exception will be displayed in message box.

That's better since it will not appear to users that the program suffered instant unexplained death if they get an exception. What's your opinion of making writing to stdout fail without raising an exception when the application is compiled with --subsystem windows? Duncan
