 After having run the installer represented by file:
 Haskell Platform 7.10.2-a 64bit-signed.pkg
 (which I found here: https://www.haskell.org/platform)
 ("openssl md5 Has*" yields 436e5370acfefbfe4cf7e3bc0a2fc56b)
 The Installer says "The installation was successful".
 I am looking at the page:
 file:///Library/Haskell/doc/start.html
 That page says:
    Executables are symlinked in /usr/bin and should be available in any
 shell.
 I can find no new symlinks there.
 Perhaps I am merely don't know what to look for.
 The documentation does not tell me what to expect that I can see.

 The shell command "ls -ltr /usr/bin" shows nothing newer than July; this
 is late August.
 Command "ls /usr/bin/gh* /usr/bin/has*" yields only "hash".
 "ls /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework" and "/Library/Haskell" are
 populated.

 I am running OS X 10.11 (beta).
