-This is version 2.01 of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell compilation
-system (GHC).  This is a major public release.  The top-level file
-"ANNOUNCE-0.28" says more.
+The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
+============================
 
-Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language [see
-SIGPLAN Notices, May 1992]. Some general merits of GHC are given at
-the end of this file.
+(this file is fptools/ghc/README in a source distribution, and
+fptools/README in a binary distribution).
 
-Documentation of interest:
+GHC is a batch compiler for Haskell 98.  See the file ANNOUNCE for
+information on the current version.
 
-* docs/install_guide/installing.{dvi,info,html}: How to configure,
-  build, and install the system.
+Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language.
+Haskell 98 is the current version of the language, released in
+December 1998.  The language definition is on the Web at
+http://www.haskell.org/definition/.
 
-  The document, as with many others, is in TeX-produced DVI format
-  (.dvi suffix), or GNU Info format (.info); the latter is close to
-  plain ASCII, if that's what you want.
+More information on GHC can be found on its web page
 
-* docs/users_guide/user.{dvi,info,html}: How to use GHC; e.g., what
-  options are available, how to cope with common problems, how to use
-  the profiling facilities, etc.
+	http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
 
-* docs/release_notes/release{dvi,info,html}: Release notes for this
-  release (and all previous releases).
+Documentation
+=============
 
-* docs/README: About the other documentation in this release.
+In a binary distribution, pre-formatted documentation can be found in
+the html and ps directories.  Pre-formatted HTML documentation is also
+available on the GHC web page.
+
+In a source distribution, the unformatted (SGML) documentation is in
+the following places:
+
+  * fptools/ghc/docs/users_guide  Users' Guide.
+  * fptools/hslibs/doc/hslibs	  Library documentation.
+  * fptools/docs  		  Build System Guide.
 
 We welcome your comments and suggestions about this software!  Please
 do not suffer or grumble in silence.  The "bug reports" section of the
-User's Guide (docs/users_guide/user.{dvi,info,html}) says what we
-would like to know when you report a problem.
