Duncan, Okay... I'm pretty darned impressed.
I downloaded the packages and got my first Haskell/Glade app running in about the same amount of time as it took me to get my first VS.Net app up and running. Thanks for the pointer to GTK2hs. I hope to have a nice app to add to the list of Haskell apps pretty soon. Thanks, David PS -- An extra big thanks to you and Stefan for your responsiveness!
