Runhugs has been documented since sometime in April - though the
documentation consists of using the source code to explain the Hugs
Server API (hugs/docs/server.{tex,html}. :-)

I'm going for option (b) On my Linux box, I get the following output
from your three programs:
[reid@haggis reid]$ runhugs foo
runhugs: Error occurred
Reading file "foo":
Parsing
ERROR "foo" (line 1): Syntax error in input (unexpected symbol ">")
[reid@haggis reid]$ runhugs +l foo
Hello world!
[reid@haggis reid]$ runhugs +l foo
runhugs: Error occurred
Reading file "foo":
Dependency analysis
ERROR "foo" (line 3): Undefined variable "putSt"
[reid@haggis reid]$ runhugs +l foo
Program error: Hello?runhugs: Error occurred
The final error message could be a bit more informative but I'm definitely
getting more information than you are. Can you send me:
o The output generated by running configure.
(If you are installing Hugs on multiple machines, it's probably
a good idea to first delete config.cache so there's no confusion)
o A description of your environment (OS vendor+version, compiler
vendor+version, etc). A combination of uname and gcc -V or cc -v
often does the trick.

ps Sorry things have been quiet here this week - we had to scrub my
disk clean and reinstall everything on my machine after some
hackers got in. Also, if anyone sent in a bug report yesterday
morning (or the night before?) and hasn't seen a response, you
probably ought to resend - I lost about a dozen messages.
Finally, Win95 users shouldn't bother with the latest Hugs Beta
- we still haven't fixed got a convenient fix for the msvcrt40.dll
problem.
