What version of Hugs should I be using in order to use the graphics with Paul Hudak's book SOE?
How timely! I have a similar question... My functional programming course uses Hugs (of course!), and last time it ran, last September, I had some nice examples using Hudak's SOE resources. Now I have to reinstall Hugs in our Win98 lab, so that I can use the same examples this time around (in three weeks' time). It appears that the latest version (Feb 2001 Hugs98) doesn't work with the win32 library. Sadly, there is no link at haskell.org/hugs pointing to the earlier version of Hugs98 that I must have used last time. Snooping around in the directory containing the latest version reveals a plethora of older versions, but no road-map. Will one of these give me the version prevailing last September? Or for that matter, any version that will run the SOE examples?

Hi all, The status of Hugs w.r.t. the Hugs Graphic Library is that the compatibility problems have been fixed, but new releases of Hugs and the HGL will still have to wait at least a few weeks. As an interim solution, I've put links to the February 2000 distribution* on the Hugs web page. There is also a link to a Win32 archive at the same location that contains precompiled Windows executables including the HGL and Win32 libraries. This should hopefully address the needs of most class instructors. Please see http://www.cse.ogi.edu/PacSoft/projects/Hugs/pages/downloading.htm for further information. All the best, Johan (*) The source package actually contains a more recent fix as well, which avoids a compilation error on recent Linux systems.
