hPutPS (at least as packaged in ghc 5.04.2--I haven't yet tried with 5.04.3) fails when given an empty string with the error: Action: hPutArray Handle: {loc=<stdout>,type=writable,binary=False,buffering=none} Reason: illegal buffer size 0 I guess maybe this is actually a bug in hPutArray (which I know nothing about), but I'm sure that one should be able to output an empty string. -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org

hPutArray with count = 0 probably shouldn't fail, I'll check this. If generating an empty array in hPutPS is a bug I cannot tell. Volker -- http://www-i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/stolz/ *** PGP *** S/MIME rage against the finite state machine
