Then of course there's the issue that Win32 edge labels are Unicode, while Posix edge labels are [Word8]. Hmm.
Strictly speaking, they're [CChar], but I doubt that anyone will ever implement Haskell on a platform where a byte isn't 8 bits wide.
On POSIX it's the same. It's not the same when only the C standard is concerned. There existed platforms with 9 bit chars (Unisys 1100). I don't know whether they are still in use. I doubt that any Haskell compiler will run on such a system. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
