Hi Malcolm. > Thanks Mike for your usual patience with nhc98 and Cygwin. My choice to use Windows - Linux doesn't do other stuff I want so I have to take the good with the bad!!

The core is useless without a map of the executable which I don't know how to get yet. I'll look into it some other time Meanwhile, by adding putStrLn statements into hi.hs I've just found that the death occurs in hSetBuffering and therefore I suppose in cHSetBuffering. I'll try and run a new build over the next day or so to get in closer with printf's in same. When I comment out that line hi gives me a prompt which seems to work OK, but it can't find the prelude: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Type :? for help Calling hSetBuffering Past hSetBuffering [Module Prelude not found...] Past load Prelude> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Why is that? I suppose I have to set some options somehow. Cheers Mike Thomas.
