This guide is intended for people who want to install or modify
programs from the Glasgow @fptools@ suite (as distinct from those
-who merely want to {\em run} them.
+who merely want to {\em run} them).
The whole install-and-make system has been completely re-done
between GHC 2.01 and 2.02, so it will be worth your while to re-read this guide
Perl~5 is the current version; GHC should be Perl~4 friendly though.
For Win32 platforms, Perl~5 is recommended, we even strongly suggest

Hip/ActiveWare port of Perl is not Cool Enough for our purposes.
Perl should be put somewhere so that it can be invoked by the \tr{#!}
Two @fptools@ projects are worth a quick note at this point, because
they are useful for all the others:
\begin{itemize}
-\item @glafp-utils@ contains several small utilities
-which aren't particularly Glasgow-ish, but which are sometimes not
-available on Unix systems.
+\item @glafp-utils@ contains several utilities which aren't
+particularly Glasgow-ish, but Occasionally Indispensable.

\item @literate@ contains the Glasgow-built tools for generating
documentation. (The unoriginal idea is to be able to generate @latex@, @info@,
\end{itemize}
All the other directories are individual {\em projects} of the
@fptools@ system --- for example, the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (@ghc@),
-the Happy parser generator (@happy@), the @nofib@ benchmark stuite,
+the Happy parser generator (@happy@), the @nofib@ benchmark suite,
and so on.
You can have zero or more of these. Needless to say, some of them
are needed to build others. For example, you need @happy@ to build
@ghc@. You can either grab @happy@ too, or else you can use
-an version of @happy@ that's already installed on your system, or
+a version of @happy@ that's already installed on your system, or
grab a binary distribution of @happy@ and install it.
The important thing to remember is that even if you want only
