Concrete examples would be interesting, especially if they didn't involve the graphic library. > Indeed, > the problem that you report in your "Sierpinkski Carpet" may likely be a > problem with Hugs, and not the graphics lib, and Jacob Nelson's message > seems to bear this out. No: it runs under GHCi, but it uses 16MB. Hugs has a 2MB heap by default (the size is measured in 8-byte cells). _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
