Bulat, All I need is to know how many cores I have. In my program, I can run some actions in parallel, and knowing the number of cores helps set the maximum number of parallel processes. These processes are in fact external programs (CPU-intensive but not memory intensive, so number of cores is main factor) rather than GHC threads. I think I just need to check this experimentally as I have a 4-core (Atom) and 1-core (Via) PCs and see what numCapabilities returns. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
