Hi, I'm able to reproduce this with the Feb2000 release of Hugs98 (and Winhugs) under XP, but not with the Feb2001 release (available via http://www.haskell.org/hugs) A new release of Hugs98 is inching closer though. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric To: hugs-bugs@haskell.org Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 20:02 Subject: Windows XP Bug I recently installed Windows XP and winhugs.exe gets a fatal error in this version of Windows. In the Hugs console it says 'ERROR: Illegal character escape sequence "\W"' and another error in a window says 'FATAL ERROR: Unable to load prelude'. However, the DOS version runs fine. Just letting you guys know about this in case you already didn't. Do you plan to release another version for XP anytime soon? Eric Cornett
