O'Hugs is an implementation of O'Haskell, which is an object-oriented extension
to Haskell developed at Chalmers.  Have a look at

   http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~nordland/ohaskell/

O'Hugs itself is a derivative of Hugs 1.3b, consisting of a replacement for the
IO monad, some syntactic enhancements, and a heavily modified type-checker.

Absolutely!  In fact this might be a good time to do that, since I'm in the
process of taking up the maintenance responsibilities for Classic Hugs.

This is good news, since I believe that makes the interpreter responsive to
AppleEvents whenever it attempts to read the command line (right?).  

So let's coordinate our activities.  Is there some place where I can get hold of
your latest sources?
