+
+<P>Welcome to GHC!
+
+<P>This is the top of the GHC documentation tree, where you will find
+links to all the supplied documentation about GHC and its
+libraries.</P>

+ <LI><P><B><A HREF="users_guide/users_guide.html">The User's Guide</A></B>
+ <P>The User's Guide has all you need to know about using GHC:
+ command line options, language extensions, GHCi, etc.

+ <LI><P><B>Hierarchical Libraries</B>
+
+ <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.

+ <LI><B><A HREF="hslibs/hslibs.html">(Old) Haskell Libraries</A></B>
+
+ <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.
