Hi, I am pleased to announce the first release of WinGhci. WinGhci is a simple GUI for GHCI on Windows. It is closely based on WinHugs, and provides similar functionality. WinGhci project web page: http://code.google.com/p/winghci/mhtml:{5097F7F7-AA40-4661-A7CF-D5EEC38F084A}mid://00000003/!x-usc:http://code.google.com/p/winghci/ Binaries: http://winghci.googlecode.com/files/WinGhci-1.0-bin.zipmhtml:{5097F7F7-AA40-4661-A7CF-D5EEC38F084A}mid://00000003/!x-usc:http://winghci.googlecode.com/files/WinGhci-1.0-bin.zip Sources: http://winghci.googlecode.com/files/WinGhci-1.0-src.zipmhtml:{5097F7F7-AA40-4661-A7CF-D5EEC38F084A}mid://00000003/!x-usc:http://winghci.googlecode.com/files/WinGhci-1.0-src.zip Acknowledgements Much of the code in WinGhci was taken from the Winhugs project. Many thanks to Neil Mitchell for giving us permission to use his code. mhtml:{5097F7F7-AA40-4661-A7CF-D5EEC38F084A}mid://00000003/!x-usc:http://winghci.googlecode.com/files/WinGhci-1.0-bin.zip Pepe Gallardo
This is wonderful--just what I was waiting for! The application looks beautiful, and I'm very happy that GHCi now has a matching GUI application along the lines of WinHugs. It would be even better if you could provide some installation/uninstallation information. I unzipped the contents of WinGhci-1.0-bin.zip into the "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\" folder, but there was no README file. Therefore, I simply ran Install.exe, and pressed "Yes" at the question to associate file extensions with winghci.exe. After some thought, I then decided that installing the application in the "C:\Program Files\" folder would be better, but could not find any information on how to uninstall the application, so I just moved the folder and then re-ran Install.exe, again pressing "Yes" at the question to associate file extensions with winghci.exe. Is this the correct way to reinstall the application? Then, I ran StartGHCI.exe, but nothing seemed to happen, so I then ran winghci.exe, and the application started. Is this the correct way to start the application? I tried to check the winghci Wiki at http://code.google.com/p/winghci/w/list, but the project had no wiki pages. -- Benjamin L.

Just another couple of thoughts for possible additional improvement: 1. It would be even nicer if WinGhci added a menu entry to the "Start" menu automatically, as WinHugs does. 2. For the proposed menu entry, it would also probably be a good idea if WinGhci added a folder for that menu entry, and included a link to a "README" file in there, as WinHugs does also. 3. In order to distinguish WinGhci from GHCi, it might also be helpful if WinGhci had a different icon; the current WinGhci icon is identical to the one for GHCi (perhaps use the forthcoming official Haskell logo here?). Just my two cents for now.... -- Benjamin L. Russell -- Benjamin L.

Indeed - me too !

And version information - I tried it with GHC 6.4 and it died (Not Responding) What version of GHCi does it require? And no, I won't upgrade GHC just yet (this is the latest GHC/wxHaskell combo that works for me with GHCi...)
