Okay, after a bit of a wait (I believe it was several weeks, in fact) there's an alternative to Don Stewart's mkcabal. JoinCabal is available from here: http://brokenhut.no-ip.org/~dougal/darcs/joincabal/ or http://brokenhut.no-ip.org/~dougal/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=JoinCabal;a=summar... It follows on from my post yesterday about the default licences in cabal, in that it'll create a stub source file with a licence header and description relevant to the licence you chose. (Apart from the BSD licences, which are not well documented. I'll get round to it.) If you use the [L]GPL a lot then this'll save you a wee bit of time. In future I also hope to download licences where I can, straight into the LICENSE file. Full usage can be found in the README. I hope someone finds it useful. Cheers, D. -- Dougal Stanton
