Thanks, it certainly gets more things, but has a nasty habit of taking
a very long time in Hugs on certain URLs:

research.microsoft.com/, www.cs.york.ac.uk/

And on some urls, ie http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/, it still
ends up with IO.hGetChar: illegal operation

Any ideas why?

Thanks

Neil
