Re: GHC source bitten by the ghost of DOS

I've just been bitten by the ghost of DOS when trying to unpack the source kit for GHC on a Windows (XP) system. It appears that the filename AUX is reserved (still crazy after all these years?).

Unfortunately, the GHC source kit contains a file aux.dtd in .\ghc-6.2\src\libraries\HaXml\bugs

The file libraries/HaXml/bugs/aux.dtd was removed from the CVS HEAD (for exactly this reason) back in October, but unfortunately the removal was not propagated to the ghc-6-2-branch. Sorry about that. Regards, Malcolm
