[Haskell] Hugs Nov2003 X Nov2002

[Graham Klyne]

I came across something like this, let's see if I can find it...

[[
More of the Haskell hierarchical libraries, including imprecise exceptions 
and unboxed arrays, giving greater compatibility with GHC. For now, 
compatibility with the old libraries is provided by stub modules, but users 
are encouraged to migrate to the new libraries.

This one's less obvious, but as I recall, it's the 'oldlib' entry here that 
gets you the old (non-hierarchical) library modules back:
[[
-Pstr

     Set search path for source files to str, which should be a list of 
directories separated by colons (semicolons on Windows, DOS or Macs). A 
null entry in this list will be replaced by the previous search path; a 
null str means the default path. Any occurrences of {Hugs} in this string 
will be replaced by the Hugs library directory. Similarly, {Home} is 
expanded to your home directory. An entry of the form "directory/*" means 
all the immediate subdirectories of directory. The default value is

.:{Hugs}/libraries:{Hugs}/oldlib

     The interpreter won't let you change the search path if that would 
prevent it from reading the Prelude.
