Actually, the link now points to the following URL (updated by John Melesky):

http://web.archive.org/web/20000818044004/http://www.cs.columbia.edu/ ~cdo/pfds-haskell.tar.gz

I just tested both, and they both seem to work. Perhaps both should be listed, or should we agree on just one?

I chose one over the other because it's the link the author (of the original book and of the code) provides from his (new) homepage. And because taxing archive.org when a valid alternative is available seems like poor form.

This is a problem in general with Haskell code, though, since such a large portion of it is created by professors or current students: if/ when they leave their current college/university, the links tend to break. I don't know that there's a solution except vigilance.
