Please note that you have to download the distribution as _BINARY_ files
not as ASCII files.
If you download in ASCII mode, you'll get an error like this:
[reid@haggis /tmp]$ unzip hugs.zip
Archive: hugs.zip
error [hugs.zip]: missing 59 bytes in zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [hugs.zip]: start of central directory not found;
zipfile corrupt.
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled unzip properly)
Download in BINARY mode and there's no problem.
(I only checked /pub/haskell/hugs/BETA/hugs.zip)
I've fixed the download page and ftp site as follows:
1) BETA is now a symlink to the latest release.
2) The installshield downloads don't include a date in their filename.
It was always a little strange that they were the only files that did.
They're now called hugsIS.{exe,zip}
(I didn't rename the files in BETA971104 - but future releases will
use the right names.)
3) The web page points to the BETA directory and has no mention of the
date of the last release. If you need to figure out when the last
release was, look at which directory BETA is symlinked to.
