Gunther Hdirect can be found at: http://www.haskell.org/hdirect/ the Hdirect library was conceived prior to the finalisation of the haskell ffi, consequently some work would be required to adapt it to the current ffi. What you want is just the automation library which is only part of the overall package (the package includes ihc, the interface generator, from memory ), the automation library could easily be seporated from the rest of the package, stripping away the hdirect marshalling utils to make use of the current ffi functions and marshalling utils. This would be a relatively straight forward task, for someone that way inclined. you might also want to have a look at hugs.net: http://www.galois.com/~sof/hugs98.net/ John.

No! Greencard is another story. The paper describes HDirect.

Hi,

does anybody know if the Greencard package / lib is the same software that is mentioned in the paper "Scripting COM Components from Haskell"?

http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/papers/com.ps.gz

I managed to install the hackage Greencard package on XP with GHC 6.8.3 but it seems to be quite different from what the paper describes.
