My printf was a sprintf too. I.e., the return value could be eoither `IO a' or String. Easy to implement, but probably confusing. :)

I noticed that. I don't yet fully understand how it all works, but it did strike me as very neat. I think this could prove to be one of those programming examples that deserves wider distribution and study if only for what it can teach about programming in Haskell. I, too, would like to see it in the common libraries. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
