Is Edison still being maintained, BTW? I wasn't even aware that is was distributed (with GHC least) until quite recently. (It seems a pity to have it languishing in obscurity under hslibs.)

I adopted it for a while, but stopped actively maintaining it because discussion on this list seemed to indicate that nobody really wanted it.

Some day I'm going to cabalise it at least, so that should at least make it less obscure.

Well, for the record. I think the lack of good "standardised" data structures is one of the main problems with Haskell (and one of the easiest to fix). So if you do have the incliniation and time to work on it, I know I'd sure apreciate it! A good "standard" class hierarchy for collections and several implementations is very much needed, IMO. /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862
