By the way, I somehow lost the way to the Postscript file of the GHC User Guide, how does one get it?
With .ps, I sometimes print the Manual to the paper, to book. Say, print the pages 1 -- 300. I do not know how to do this with .html. I can convert some small part to .ps when viewing .html. But it is desirable to be able to convert it all to one .ps file. I am sorry for the ignorance, but does .html replace fully .ps ?
The postscript is available from the link I gave you. Here's a direct link: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/users_guide.ps.gz
On last reliable GHC version ---------------------------- For any occasion: it is good to always keep available on public the latest reliable GHC version.
For example, the DoCon program failed (so far) with ghc-6.0.1, due to the gc bug in ghc. And the DoCon Installing guide says: "it was tested for ghc-5.02.2 ...". At least, DoCon user should be able to download and install this ghc-5.02.2 (in this particular case, I suspect, 5.04 fits).
We keep all previous GHC distributions available onlin. Version 5.02.2 is still available here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_502.html (this is linked from the download page). Cheers, Simon
