[Hugs-users] School assignment help

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

This is the place for questions specifically about the Hugs system -
for general Haskell help you will get a much larger audience on
haskell-cafe -AT- haskell.org - I suggest reposting this email to
there.

There is a page about how to ask for homework help on the Haskell
wiki: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Homework_help

Thanks

Neil
