-\section[introduction-GHC]{Introduction to GHC}
-
-This is a guide to using the Glasgow Haskell compilation (GHC) system.
-It is a batch compiler for the Haskell~1.4 language, with support for
-various Glasgow-only extensions.
-
-Many people will use GHC very simply: compile some
-modules---\tr{ghc -c -O Foo.hs Bar.hs}; and link them---
-\tr{ghc -o wiggle -O Foo.o Bar.o}.
-
-But if you need to do something more complicated, GHC can do that,
-too:
-\begin{verbatim}
-ghc -c -O -fno-foldr-build -dcore-lint -fvia-C -ddump-simpl Foo.lhs
-\end{verbatim}
-Stay tuned---all will be revealed!
-
-In this document, we assume that GHC has been installed at your
-site as \tr{ghc}.
-If you are unfamiliar with the conventions of UNIX compilers, the
-material in \sectionref{compiler-tutorial} may help.

-On the World-Wide Web, there are several URLs of likely interest:
-\begin{display}
-Haskell home page -- \tr{http://haskell.org/}
-GHC home page -- \tr{http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fp/software/ghc/}
-Glasgow FP group page -- \tr{http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fp/}
-comp.lang.functional FAQ -- 
-   \tr{http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/Department/Staff/mpj/faq.html}
-\end{display}
-We run two mailing lists about Glasgow Haskell.  We encourage you to
-join, as you feel is appropriate.
-\begin{description}
-\item[glasgow-haskell-users:]
-This list is for GHC users to chat among themselves.  Subscribe by
-sending mail to \tr{majordomo@dcs.gla.ac.uk}, with
-a message body (not header) like this:
-\begin{verbatim}
-subscribe glasgow-haskell-users My Name <m.y.self@bigbucks.com>
-\end{verbatim}
-(The last bit is your all-important e-mail address, of course.)
-
-To communicate with your fellow users, send mail to \tr{glasgow-haskell-users}.
-
-To contact the list administrator, send mail to
-\tr{glasgow-haskell-users-request}.  An archive of the list is
-available on the Web at:
-\begin{verbatim}
-http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/mail-www/glasgow-haskell-users
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\item[glasgow-haskell-bugs:]
-Send bug reports for GHC to this address!  The sad and lonely people
-who subscribe to this list will muse upon what's wrong and what you
-might do about it.
-
-Subscribe via \tr{majordomo@dcs.gla.ac.uk} with:
-\begin{verbatim}
-subscribe glasgow-haskell-bugs My Name <m.y.self@hackers.r.us>
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Again, you may contact the list administrator at
-\tr{glasgow-haskell-bugs-request}.
-And, yes,  an archive of the list is
-available on the Web at:
-\begin{verbatim}
-http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/mail-www/glasgow-haskell-bugs
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{description}
-
-There is also the general Haskell mailing list.  Subscribe by sending
-email to \tr{majordomo@dcs.gla.ac.uk}, with the usual message body:
-\begin{verbatim}
-subscribe haskell My Name <m.y.self@fp.rules.ok.org>
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Some Haskell-related discussion takes place in the Usenet newsgroup
-\tr{comp.lang.functional}.  (But note: news is basically dead at Glasgow.
-That's one reason Glaswegians aren't too active in c.f.l.)
-
-The main anonymous-FTP site for Glasgow Haskell is
-\tr{ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk}, in \tr{pub/haskell/glasgow/}.
-``Important'' bits are mirrored at other Haskell archive sites (and we
-have their stuff, too).
