Try the November release of Hugs with the +N option.

Well, now Hugs and ghc show the same behaviour for my program: they don't parse my doc, even with the same error.

But the +N does not work: it says "New hierarchical libraries not found along search path; ignoring +N toggle."

I'm guessing that you're explicitly overriding the -P parameter. The trick here is to say ";newdir", so it adds your new directory to the standard ones (which are different between -N and +N). (I think -- I don't know about the Windows interface.)

You want the search path to be something like

{Hugs}\libraries;{Hugs}\oldlib;{Hugs}\lib\win32

with any other directories added on the end.

That'll work just fine, but Hugs is now a bit more clever, letting you use ":" as the path separator in path lists on Windows platforms also. Switching between old and new library worlds is made slightly more complex on Windows platforms as options are persisted to a user's Registry hive. So, to make sure you're starting with a clean slate, invoke Hugs with hugs -P +N ...whatever else.. the empty -P option resets the search path settings back to "factory defaults." (i.e., the above search path.) hth --sigbjorn
