This is to announce version 0.0 of `brisk', the Bristol Haskell System. At present, it is just a syntax checker, but is being made available because: o It parses precisely the grammar in the Haskell report. o It is an example of a large practical parser written in Haskell. o It comes with a collection of small test programs. It is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.bris.ac.uk, /pub/functional/brisk. Comments are welcome. Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tel: 0272 303334
