It sounds like Bulat has gotten some impressive I/O speedups with his Streams library. I'd like to try this out, but I'm having some trouble installing it. I'm using GHC on Linux. My first attempt was looking around on this page: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Streams There's a really nice description, but no signs of where to actually get the library. Eventually (thanks to Google) I tracked down this message: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13625
From here I was able to download it, but there's no information regarding how this needs to be set up. There are directories "Data", "Examples", and "System", which I assume are supposed to be plugged into the hierarchical module structure, but how do I do that? I thought this might have something to do with Cabal (I've not yet used that), but the Cabal manual talks about a .cabal file, which doesn't exist here.
Does this follow some standard approach that I'm not familiar with? Where should I look to learn more? Thanks, -- Chad Scherrer "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana" -- Groucho Marx
