[Haskell-cafe] Haskell Program

[Tim Newsham]

The company I work for was gracious enough to allow me to release a 
haskell program I wrote for them:

There's a python version and a rewrite in haskell.  I used some looping 
constructs discussed earlier on this list to keep the haskell code similar 
to its original python code.  Don Stewart was kind enough to help me 
optimize some of the code using ByteString and a faster PRNG (the 
System.Random class seems to be a bit on the slow side!).  Prior to using 
ByteString and optimizing the code it was a bit slower than the python 
version, but with optimizations it is quite a bit faster.  (In practice, 
the external program being invoked is usually the performance bottleneck).
