Hi,

I think something like Hugs + minimal libraries + WinHugs should be small enough to install onto the stick, but I haven't tested this.

See MinHugs, http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/downloading.htm, it should fit on a USB stick easily, just install it to the USB drive and you should be good to go. Its basically exactly what you asked for above - the desire was that students can install it on their home drives if their uni hasn't updated Hugs since 2001. I haven't tested this, and can't since my computer fried my USB stick, but if you have any bug reports either email them to me to the hugs-bugs list. Thinking of what could go wrong, the only thing I can think of is the registry won't exist, which causes WinHugs to start up with its defaults - and should be perfect for you. If this isn't acceptable for some reason, let me know what you need and I am sure it can be worked on. Thanks Neil

That'd be the ideal scenario as I'm teaching Haskell (so won't need complicated libraries) on Windows (so user-friendliness is appreciated; terminals are something to avoid if at all possible).

Has this/could this be done?

Thanks in advance.
