Hello all While new libraries develop at pace, their documentation rarely does; so I'd have to disagree with John's claim that re-naming libraries makes development by new users harder. I'd argue that having tutorials not work for later revisions is more confusing than having various packages doing the same thing. I'd also contend that beginners are better off lagging behind the cutting edge and using Parsec 2, QuickCheck 1, Haskore-vintage, as the earlier version all have comprehensive documentation - Parsec 2 and Haskore have extensive manual/tutorials, QuickCheck 1 was small enough that the original QuickCheck paper covered its use. An advantage of separate names (both for the package name and module name-space) is that its easier to have both packages installed at the same time - the old one to work with while learning the package, the new one if other installed packages depend on it. This can still be done with package-hiding but its less straight-forward. Best wishes Stephen
