Hi, if I try to use zip-comprehension, it works as long as I do it in a "fresh" Hugs. As soon as I load anything - it doesn't seem to matter what - I get INTERNAL ERROR: translate The problem occurs under both Windows NT 4 / Windows 2000 __ __ __ __ ____ ___ _________________________________________ || || || || || || ||__ Hugs 98: Based on the Haskell 98 standard ||___|| ||__|| ||__|| __|| Copyright (c) 1994-2001 ||---|| ___|| World Wide Web: http://haskell.org/hugs || || Report bugs to: hugs-bugs(a)haskell.org || || Version: December 2001 _________________________________________ Hugs mode: Restart with command line option +98 for Haskell 98 mode Reading file "D:\Languages\Haskell\\lib\Prelude.hs": Reading file "D:\Languages\Haskell\code\debruijn.hs": Hugs session for: D:\Languages\Haskell\\lib\Prelude.hs D:\Languages\Haskell\code\debruijn.hs Type :? for help Main> [(x,y) | x<-[0,1,2] | y<-[3,4,5]] INTERNAL ERROR: translate Main> Kind regards, Joachim Wolf Laudien

winhugs hates me :(
by chris.danx 16 Aug '02

Hi, Just trying to get back into the swing of haskell again and typed map (factorial) [1,2,3] and winhugs crashed. Why? Was the program ill formed or resource hungry? factorial :: Int -> Int factorial x | (x <= 1) = 1 | otherwise = x * (factorial x - 1) ... and so does hugs! :( the crash out after fact'ing the first element, the output is [1, then crash! Is it me or hugs? If it's hugs is this a known issue? Running win2k pro sp2 on an amd xp, hugs dec 2001 release. I will try an uninstall and reinstall of hugs just to be sure somethings not messed it up. Chris p.s. I consider this a bug, perhaps others would disagree. On 2k when hugs is installed via msi, the shortcuts aren't installed into the all users programs folder, just the admins folder and they cannot simply be copied to the all users programs folder, they get hidden and messed up! Is this intentional? It's no big deal, just a little annoying (many apps do that :( )

For more details, check out http://www.norh.com/norhtec/index.html. For the past year, I have been working on ideas to improve computing. Most computer companies continue to focus on making computers either less expensive or more powerful. In the process, they tend to forget the user. I have spent the past 20 years working in the computer industry. Last year, I decided to take my experience and build products that will change the way computers are used. There are many applications for computers where the computer performs a single task. This includes gateways, firewalls, routers, point of sale, kiosks, facility management, reservation systems and so on. I continue to see PCs used in stores as cash registers where the computers still boot from a floppy. There are many applications where a small, energy efficient, x86 (Pentium class) computer could take the place of larger and more complicated systems. For applications that are still MS DOS based, it would be easy to migrate these solutions to solid state devices. These will boot faster and have fewer problems. I recently received a call from a company that installs highway signs. They told me that the signs are controlled by PCs that are attached to modems. The systems boot off of floppies. The computers hang frequently because they generate too much heat in the signs. The floppies fail frequently and require frequent service calls. Such an application would be ideal for our Microservers. NorhTec has developed the ideal replacement for dedicated PCs. NorhTec Microservers are fully integrated, inexpensive, energy efficient and highly reliable. In addition to our Microservers, NorhTec has also developed what we consider the ideal office and home desktop, the Panda PC. The Panda PC is a small form factor computer that requires no fan for the CPU or the power supply. The Panda PC is small, quiet and energy efficient. The Panda PC is better integrated than virtually an other PC available. While most computers use very inexpensive parts, the Panda PC uses some of the finest components available. Instead of a standard CD ROM that comes in most PCs, the Panda PC includes a slimline DVD that can also record CDRs and CDRWs. Because we can create CDROMs, we have taken out the useless floppy. Of course slimline devices are more expensive. Of course the combination of a DVD and CDRW is also more expensive. We believe that the our choice makes the Panda PC a much better desktop than. The Panda PC will offer a choice of Windows XP or a special version of Linux. Both version will be preconfigured with useful open source applications such as office suites, browsers, viewers and multimedia players. Our Linux offering will feature keystroke and mouse click compatibility to Microsoft Windows. For example, you can share files by right clicking on the file and selecting "share this file". You can adjust the screen resolution the same way you do on a Microsoft Windows desktops. The ICONs will look very familiar with MY COMPUTER and MY NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD making the environment very familar to Windows users. For customers who already have licenses for or willing to purchase licenses for Microsoft Office, we can host these applications and other popular Microsoft Windows applications on Linux. For a slightly extra fee, we will install to authorized customers, Winword, Outlook, Excel, Internet Explorer 5.5, Microsoft Media Player 6.4, Access, and Power Point. We can also install Lotus Notes and several other packages. Recently, I read about a large chain that was selling PCs for $299.95. This is the lowest price for a standard PC in the United States. This configuration included 128 MB RAM and 10 GB disk. To upgrade to 256 MB RAM and 20 GB disk, the price was $595.95. This price included a full size CD ROM. A DVD player would be extra as would a CDRW. The Panda PC will sell for $495.95 with 256 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, and our DVD/CDRW combination. The Panda PC uses less power, generates less heat and takes less space than virtually any other fully configured desktop. Additionally, the Panda PC is one of the first computers to operate either AC or DC. Some smaller computers cheat by using an external power supply (ala laptop). Our power supply is built into the case. The power supply will switch between 12 and 24 volts DC and 120 and 240 AC. This is one of the first computers that is ideal to be powered in a vehicle, battery or solar power. It can cost $1,000 per desktop just to buy the windowing system and the office suite. We will deliver a computer that is fully configured with Linux and a fully functional office suite for the price of the hardware. This will not be a "hacker style" system. The system will be expertly configured so that it is one of the easiest to use systems you have ever used. The Panda PC does not need a fan for normal operation. However, we have put an 82 mm fan inside just in case. The fan is attached to a circuit that measure the temperature and will go on only if the temperature reaches a preset temperature. An 82 mm fan is much quieter than the smaller fans used on processors, video cards and power supplies. Additionally, we have positioned the fan so that even if the fan is activated, it will create very little turbulence. Our goal is to create the friendliest computer possible. NorhTec will offer a variety of components to make networking easier than ever before. We have selected networking strategies that make networking computers as easy as possible. In most cases, you simply connect the networking cable and boot the computer. We have preconfigured microservers and Pandas to perform specific tasks such as firewall, gateway, printer server, and desktop. I personally think we have developed the best networking strategies for the home and office. Our strategies include wired and wireless LANs. While we are a couple of months away from delivering products, we would like to invite you to consult with us before you upgrade those power hungry, energy inefficient, aging computers in your office. I can show you how to replace these with systems that are far friendlier and much less expensive to operate. Sincerely, Michael C. Barnes President NorhTec Microservers

old and new hugs online sites creates confusion
by Greg Wanish 05 Aug '02

05 Aug '02

The old site is still up and running and proclaiming that Feb 2001 version is here. Nowhere on the page does it say that that a new version is online at the new site. The "download" link on the old site doesn't match the "download" link on the new site. - Greg
