[Haskell-cafe] The implementation of Functional

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

The online-readable copy is all ready to go.  I'm just awaiting a final
"ok" from Marnie and I'll announce it.  For a paper copy we'll await
John's Cafepress efforts.  Much thanks to both Marnie and John.

| My wife (mainly) and I, with Simon's permission, have been working on
| getting a web-enabled version of this available for quite some time.
It
| hovers on the brink of completion, and should be there Real Soon Now
as
| well.  This will include a web enabled table of contents and next and
back
| buttons.

| If I'd known how much time she would put in, I'd have never asked her
for "a
| small favor".......
