I've patched the Sep99 release of Hugs98, as per
various requests.
There are three changes.
(1) configure has been marked as executable.
(2) The MS-CR/LF end-of-lines have been replaced
with Unix style end-of-lines.
(3) The problem with hPutStr has been fixed.
diff included below, for the interested.
The patched version can get obtained from the web pages.
Cheers,
Andy Gill

Patch to iomonad.c, in the primHPutStr function.
(Do not just remove the two pushes, because this can
lead to a problem if GC occurs during the evaluation
of the string argument.)
