Using the commands: cabal update cabal list | fgrep " * " | wc I counted 927 entries.

Unfortunately that's not a reliable means of determining cabal packages. (Baffling, I know.) I think it actually lists things you have installed from other sources, too. For instance:

$ cabal list | grep cairo * cairo Homepage: http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/archives/2006/01/26/cairo-eye-candy/ $ cabal install cairo cabal: There is no package named cairo

I changed the commands to: cabal update cabal list | fgrep " Latest version available: " | wc Now I count 915 entries. -- Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://functor.bamikanarie.com http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ --
