1 This is version 3.01 of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell compilation
2 system (GHC). GHC 3.01 is a compiler for Haskell 1.4.
4 Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language.
5 Haskell 1.4 is the current version of the language, released in
6 May. 1996. The language definition is on the Web at
7 http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/haskell-report/haskell-report.html
9 GHC documentation of interest:
11 * docs/installing.{dvi,info,html}: How to configure, build, and
14 The document, as with many others, is in TeX-produced DVI format
15 (.dvi suffix), or GNU Info format (.info); the latter is close to
16 plain ASCII, if that's what you want.
18 * ghc/docs/users_guide/user.{dvi,info,html}: How to use GHC; e.g., what
19 options are available, how to cope with common problems, how to use
20 the profiling facilities, etc.
22 * ghc/docs/users_guide/release.{dvi,info,html}: Release notes for this
23 release (and earlier releases).
25 * ghc/docs/README: About the other documentation in this release.
27 We welcome your comments and suggestions about this software! Please
28 do not suffer or grumble in silence. The "bug reports" section of the
29 User's Guide (docs/users_guide/user.{dvi,info,html}) says what we
30 would like to know when you report a problem.
