My guess is that since showAddress and readsAddress are class-based, there might be some defaulting issues if you use them. Also, unless the constructor isn't exported, isn't it usually preferable to have Show and Read instances produce/use actual values directly? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
