So GHC's Int/Word implementation is different from Hugs'? Hugs represents Word8 (say) by a 32 bit int but doesn't guarantee that the top 24 bits are all zero.
GHC does similarly, except that it does guarantee that unused bits are zero. Or one - in negative numbers. In other words it represents value x of type Int8 as if converted to Int. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
