But they would not be equivalent if stdout has to be locked for each output operation separately, but a file opened with openFile fp WriteMode was locked then once and remained so until closed. Since I don't know the internals, I thought it was worth taking a look. Seems they behave the same. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
