For platforms that support DOS filenames, "....:c:\temp:..." is interpreted as one element in a search path list, but "...:c:/temp:..." is treated as consisting of two, "c" and "/temp". The GHC code goes further and probes the file system to determine the interpretation of a path element that starts with "<drive>:\" (or "<drive>:/"). With a little bit of effort, Hugs could do the same. --sigbjorn _______________________________________________ Hugs-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-users
