PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
hugs: hugs98-1.0.0-i486-1 (Interpreter of Haskell 98 Language, November 2003)
hugs:
hugs: Hugs 98 is a functional programming system based on Haskell 98, 
hugs: the de facto standard for non-strict functional programming languages. 
hugs: Hugs 98 provides an almost complete implementation of Haskell 98, including:
hugs:
hugs: - Lazy evaluation, higher order functions, and pattern matching.
hugs: - A wide range of built-in types, from characters to bignums, and lists to 
hugs:   functions, with comprehensive facilities for defining new datatypes and 
hugs:   type synonyms.
hugs: - An advanced polymorphic type system with type and constructor class overloading.
hugs: - All of the features of the Haskell 98 expression and pattern syntax including 
hugs:   lambda, case, conditional and let expressions, list comprehensions, do-notation, 
hugs:   operator sections, and wildcard, irrefutable and `as' patterns.
hugs: - An implementation of the Haskell 98 primitives for monadic I/O, with support 
hugs:   for simple interactive programs, access to text files, handle-based I/O, and 
hugs:   exception handling.
hugs: - An almost complete implementation of the Haskell module system. Hugs 98 also 
hugs:   supports a number of advanced and experimental extensions including 
hugs:   multi-parameter classes, extensible records, rank-2 polymorphism, existentials, 
hugs:   scoped type variables, and restricted type synonyms.
