ANNOUNCE: Hugs98 for .NET

[Sigbjorn Finne]

We are pleased to announce the first release of Hugs98 for .NET,
April 2002. It sports the following:

 * A version of the popular Haskell interpreter, 
   Hugs98 (http://haskell.org/hugs), targetted at the Microsoft
   .NET platform. 
 * Hugs98 for .NET lets you use .NET classes and objects from
   within the comforts of Haskell.
 * Hugs98 for .NET lets you wrap up Haskell functions as .NET
   classes / delegators, providing any .NET language with
   the ability to call and use Haskell.

The distribution comes with documentation and examples demonstrating
how to access and interact with .NET -- all available via the Hugs98 for
.NET homepage:

One of the main objectives behind this first release is to gauge the
level of interest in having a good .NET story for Haskell. Feedback,
suggestions for improvements, bug reports etc. are most welcome --
please e-mail these to the author: sof@galois.com
