-           ==============================================
-
-We are pleased to announce a new release of the Glasgow Haskell
-Compiler (GHC), version 2.05. Source distribution is freely available
-via the World-Wide Web and through anon. FTP; details below.
-
-Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language; the
-current language version is 1.4, agreed in April, 1997.  Haskell
-related information is available from the Haskell home page at
-
-       http://haskell.org/
-
-
-+ What's new

-
-Release 2.05 represent work done through July '97. no changes at the

-and several of the front passes in the compiler has been reworked
-further and improved.

-+ How to get it
-================
-
-The easy way is to go to the WWW GHC distribution page, which should
-be self-explanatory:
-
-       ftp://ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk/pub/haskell/glasgow/README.html
-
-Once you have the distribution, please follow the pointers in the
-README file to find all of the documentation about this release.  NB:
-preserve modification times when un-tarring the files (no `m' option
-for tar, please)!
-
-
-+ System requirements
-======================
-
-To compile up this source-only release, you need a machine with 16+MB
-memory, GNU C (`gcc'), `perl' plus a version of GHC installed (either
-version 0.29 or 2.02 onwards). We have seen GHC work on these platforms:
-
-  * alpha-dec-osf2
-  * hppa1.1-hp-hpux{9,10}
-  * sparc-sun-{sunos4,solaris2}
-  * mips-sgi-irix{5,6}
-  * i386-unknown-{linux,solaris2,freebsd,cygwin32}.
-  * {rs6000,powerpc}-ibm-aix
-
-Similar platforms should work with minimal hacking effort.  The installer's
-guide included in distribution gives a complete run-down of what-ports-work;
-an on-line version can be found at
-
