subject says it all? long gone the times when Valentine's day
marked Hugs releases;-)

here is the situation a windows users like me sees at the moment
(I had switched to ghci, but the Haskell' effort prompts me to
have two implementations of Haskell+extensions again, so I'd
like to update my old Nov 2003 Hugs:-):

hcar nov 2005 says 
    "A new major release of Hugs is planned within a few months"
    "It should also include a Windows distribution"
    http://haskell.org/communities/11-2005/html/report.html#sect2.2

hugs home page says
    latest news
        last major release nov 2003
        interim release mar 2005 targeted at unix systems
    http://www.haskell.org/hugs/

hcar also refers to winhugs, which isn't mentioned on hugs home
page at all (its download page refers to an older version, stating 
that that one doesn't work), for a pre-release.

    i tried minhugs from there, which claims Version: 20051031,
    but doesn't seem to know about the hierarchical libs. the menu
    entry gives a blank, and the prompt gives:
    
    Hugs> :b Data.List
    Unknown module Data.List

cheers,
claus
