Me neither, but the page Christian referred to seems to indicate it. Although it *is* dated in 2008, so things may have changed. Certainly it would be nice if a discriminated union of nullary constructors were equal in performance to a type with a single constructor wrapping an Int or similar. Anyway - biocore now wraps a Bool, which apparently has been efficient from 2008 and onwards, and hides the constructors. There is also biosff, which included the SFF-parsing stuff from biolib, and includes the 'flower' executable. darcs get http://malde.org/~ketil/biohaskell/{biocore,biosff} -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Biohaskell mailing list Biohaskell@biohaskell.org http://malde.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/biohaskell
