This document started as a collection of notes describing what <a
href="mailto:chak@cse.unsw.edu.au">I</a> learnt when poking around in
the <a href="http://haskell.org/ghc/">GHC</a> sources. During the
<i>Haskell Implementers Workshop</i> in January 2001 it was decided to
- put the commentary into GHC's CVS repository to allow the whole
- developer community to add their wizardly insight to the document.
+ put the commentary into
+ <a href="http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/">GHC's CVS
+ repository</a>
+ to allow the whole developer community to add their wizardly insight to
