For a change of pace, I thought I would whine about problems with Linux. I built nhc98 under Debian GNU/Linux (I have a package available if anyone is interested), and noticed that I see the same problem that I do under Cygnus (which I assumed was due to Cygwin's hackish nature). Unforunately, the behavior is the same under Linux: bfulgham@hopper:~$ hi __ __ __ _____________________________________ || || ______ ___ || _ ____ hmake interactive (hi): ||___|| || || || ___|| ||/ ||__|| Copyright (c) May 2000 ||---|| || || || ||__|| ||\_ ||__ http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/hmake/ || || Report bugs to: malcolm@cs.york.ac.uk || || Version: 2.02 (2001-02-08) ------------------------------------- ... Using compiler nhc98 ...

I suspect this would better be studied using hat or something, but unfortunatley I am too unfamiliar with these tools (currently) to delve further. Am I just using 'hi' completely incorrectly?
