-This is version 3.02 of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell compilation
-system (GHC).  GHC 3.02 is a compiler for Haskell 1.4.
+The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
+============================
+
+(this file is fptools/ghc/README in a source distribution, and
+fptools/README in a binary distribution).
+
+GHC is a batch compiler for Haskell 98.  See the file ANNOUNCE for
+information on the current version.
 
 Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language.
-Haskell 1.4 is the current version of the language, released in 
-April 1997.  The language definition is on the Web at
-http://www.haskell.org/report/index.html.
+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/.
+
+More information on GHC can be found on its web page
 
-GHC documentation of interest:
+	http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
 
-* docs/installing.{dvi,info,html}: How to configure, build, and
-  install the system.
+Documentation
+=============
 
-  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.
+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.
 
-* ghc/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.
+In a source distribution, the unformatted (DocBook XML) 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.
