As Henning points out, the darcs version of Haskore is now the standard, which Henning has been kind enough to set up. However, it has also been extended and re-organized, and at least currently does not have the simplistic feel of the original Haskore. On the other hand, the version that is described in Chapter 20 of SOE (which is called "MDL") is very simple and elegant and would be a great way to "learn Haskell". Even though it's in Chapter 20, it depends only on material presented much earlier in the book.

I hope this helps, -Paul

Hi
I have been trying to learn haskell (tip over the vending machine) for
a while and eventually decided the Haskore music library might be a
good way to start understating the language.

I am using windows and hugs98. The IOExtensions.hs file will not work
under windows. Any ideas on how to make it work or is this library
*nix only?


I think that this problem was resolved in the revised Haskore version, see
 http://darcs.haskell.org/haskore/
   and its binary file wrapper
 http://darcs.haskell.org/haskore/src/Haskore/General/IO.hs

However, I feel that this Haskore version is no longer simple enough for
learning.
