For people that want to tweak their Hugs98 installation, have a look at the Hugs98 PowerToys page: http://www.galois.com/~sof/hugs/PowerToys.html It's got a collection of utilities (well, just one, for now ;-) for tweaking your Hugs98 setup on a Windows box. If nothing else, that sample app shows you how to use the Win32 library to access the Registry. Enjoy, --sigbjorn

Updated Mandrake RPM
by Sigbjorn Finne 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Thanks to the hard work of Pixel pixel(a)mandrakesoft.com, a version of the Mandrake Linux RPM for Hugs98 (Dec 2001) is now available via the 'cooker': http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/hugs98-200112 15-2mdk.i586.html (alpha and ppc versions are also available). Kudos to Pixel for packaging up Hugs (and GHC) for Mandrake, making Haskell readily available to Mandrake users (=> included on Mandrake distribution CDs etc.) Great stuff -- Haskell for the masses! :-) --sigbjorn

IArray module supported?
by andreas.marth＠daimlerchrysler.com 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi! I followed the link from "Hugs98Dez2001/docs/hugsman/hugs.html#$HugsGHClibs" and the closest thing I could found was "hslibs". "Hslibs" entails under "lang" the module "IArray". Is this module supported in Hugs, if not will it be supported in the not too distant future? Thanksfor any comments, Andreas

ANNOUNCE: Hugs98 Christmas release

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ __ __ __ __ ____ ___ _________________________________________ || || || || || || ||__ 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: Dec 2001 _________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are pleased to announce a new release of Hugs98, a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing cool Haskell programs. Sources and binaries are freely available on the World-Wide Web. The most important features of this new release are: - The incompatibilities between Hugs and the Haskell Graphics Library have been fixed, and binaries for the HGL are now available on the Hugs download page. - The missing standard libraries Directory, CPUTime, Time and Locale have been added along with a complete implementation of Haskell98 IO. - Hugs is now delivered with most of the hslibs libraries installed in the lib/exts/ directory. The added modules cover the Edison, Parsec, HaXml, QuickCheck, concurrent, monad, and html subdirectories of hslibs. - The :set option now refuses the user to set a module search path that doesn't contain the Prelude. This is to protect users from accidentally rendering their Hugs setups unusable, esp. so on Windows machines where the options are persisted to the Registry. - MacOS X is now one of the supported unix ports, with pre-built binaries available on the download page. - Experimental support is provided for hierarchical module names, where a module name A.B.C is mapped onto the file path A/B/C{.hs,.lhs} and appended to each of the path prefixes in HUGSPATH until the name of a readable file is found. Most reported bugs have also been fixed; however, some issues still remain. See the heading "Hugs Bugs & Features" on the Hugs web site for further information. Send email to hugs-users-request(a)haskell.org to join the hugs-users mailing list. Bug reports should be sent to hugs-bugs(a)haskell.org. Send email to hugs-bugs-request(a)haskell.org to subscribe to the hugs-bugs list.

hugs for MacOS X
by Stephen Harris 04 Jan '02

04 Jan '02

Hi, I downloaded hugs for MacOS X (I'm running 10.1) and ran the installer, but there are no files in the indicated places, no man page and I can't run the interpreter. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you! Stephen Harris
