-This is the root directory for functional-programming tools
-distributed by the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University.
-Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@dcs.gla.ac.uk> is the ringleader of this
-effort. The tools are:
-
- ghc the Glasgow Haskell compilation system
- hslibs collection of Haskell libraries
- haggis the Haggis GUI toolkit
- happy the Happy Haskell parser generator
- nofib the NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite
- literate the Glasgow "literate programming" system
- mkworld configuration system (derived from X11 imake)
- glafp-utils shared utility programs
-
-The "literate" stuff is usually distributed *with* other systems, but
-not necessarily. Components which are always part of a distribution
-(never stand-alone) are "glafp-utils" and "mkworld" (a configuration
-system).
-
-There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution. Please
-consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.
