I made a pdf version of the Haskell report using pdflatex; fans of
pdf can obtain a copy from http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~mpj/h98.pdf.
This version of the report includes hyperlinks and bookmarks, and
looks *much* better on screen than the version derived from Postscript.
It's even (slightly) smaller ... what a deal! I've actually found this
version of the report easier to navigate than a printed version. If
you've ever seen me referring to a section or page number in the
Haskell 98 report, you can be pretty sure that I tracked it down using
this pdf version. I hope it will be as useful to other people!
Before anyone asks: I'm afraid that I haven't done a pdf version of the
library report.
Personal recommendations follow:
If you want to get the best out of the pdf version of the report, use
Adobe's free reader (http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html).
If you want to generate nice pdf documents from LaTeX source, use pdflatex,
which is part of the pdftex package available from CTAN (e.g. www.ctan.org).
If you use a Win32 PC, try miktex (www.miktex.de), which includes pdftex
and all the fonts that you need to use it, without further ado!
All the best,
Mark
