[Haskell-beginners] Performance of Idiomatic lazy Haskell

[Tim Perry]

The links are confusing, but unxutils is still available:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/


MinGW/MSYS may be a better and/or more fully supported package but I have no experience there.


Anyhow, time is built into the unxutils "sh" shell:
    C:\Documents and Settings\perry>sh
    WREN# time sleep 3
    sleep 3  0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 3.125 total
    WREN#


However, I'm pretty sure the shell is actually zsh, not sh.

unxutils.zip seems to be gone; another option would be, to use MinGW/MSYS.  
You need this anyway for installing several Haskell packages that bind to  
C-software. If you start an MS-DOS shell and give command "sh", you are in  
a unixlike shell, where you can give the "time" command.
