I am trying to use XsdToHaskell but am getting stuck.

The page http://projects.haskell.org/HaXml/
has dead links for DtdToHaskell and XsdToHaskell

There is an apparently dead project at http://code.google.com/p/xsdtohaskell/

I have a set of .xsd file which reference each other and the command

XsdToHaskell chassis.xsd > Chassis.xsd.hs

generates a lot of haskell, but seems to include debugging eg

Parse Success!

Do you or others know of some uptodate documentation?

cheers
Tim
