- <B>Hierarchical Libraries</B>
- </P>
- <P>
- GHC comes with a large number of libraries, arranged
- hierarchically. The libraries are divided into <EM>packages</EM> -
- to use a package of libraries from GHC or GHCi just add the flag
- <TT>-package <name></TT> to the command line, where
- <TT><name></TT> is the name of the package (see the
- section on packages in the User's Guide for more information). The
- <TT>base</TT> and <TT>haskell98</TT> packages are always available,
- so you don't need to use the <TT>-package</TT> flag to get these.

- </P>
- <P>
- Previous versions of GHC (before version 5.04) came with a suite
- of libraries known as <TT>hslibs</TT>, aka the Hugs-GHC libraries.
- As we are in the process of moving towards using hierarchical
- libraries for everything, many of these libraries have moved over to
- the new packages in the hierarchical libraries above. We still
- provide the old <TT>hslibs</TT> libraries for backwards compatibility
- and also for those libraries which have yet to move into the
- hierarchy. For libraries which have moved, the documentation
- contains a pointer to the location in the new libraries.
- </P>
- <P>
- Libraries which haven't moved yet, so are still only available from
- here, include: the POSIX library, the Win32 library, HaXml, Readline,
- and a few others.
