Good, let's sort this one out. ghc/compiler/ has its fingers deep in the pie that is hslibs/, so presumably the restriction applies there also? I'll happily convert some of these files (once I know what wrapper story you have in mind); let me know. --sigbjorn _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
