Thanks. It's actually quite comforting to know that the problems I run into
are known issues and gives me a lot more confidence in the tools.
As I said I really like Haskell it's a pleasure to program in it and I do
appreciate the work that people have put in to make it possible for me to do
so!
Hi
A Google search pointed me at two major GUI toolkits for Haskell: gtk2hs and
wxHaskell.
My answer is to use Gtk2hs. Unfortunately, the releases are somewhat
behind so you usually need to grab a special preview release to get it
working on Windows. That's a very sad state of affairs, and as

i'm a XP user, nevertheless try this for gtk2hs:

Thanks for such a quick response!
There seems to be a new version of Gtk2hs now (or I accidentally downloaded
an old one earlier). Either way the installer was easy to use and the Hello
World program ran (even within GHCi). Thanks for your help.
I'm very appreciative to all those who work on

Yeah, this kind of thing is annoyingly common in Haskell circles. It's

of checking it? Perhaps just the file length if there's no easy way of
doing md5 on windows.

As far as I know the visual differences are pretty small. If you know of

lots of little differences over the last few years.
