No, nhc98 does not have the Concurrent library at the moment. Simon Marlow (the main author of GHC's Concurrent library) tells me that it should be reasonably straightforward to add a version of Concurrent into nhc98 - using the non-preemptive scheduler that currently ships with Hugs for instance. I intend to look into this at some point, although I can't be sure when we will have the time to do that. > Am I > right in thinking the compiler's still reasonably alive and maintained and > likely to stay so for the forseeable future? Yes, nhc98 is being actively maintained here at York. Like the GHC team, we have funding for at least one more year. Beyond that, like the GHC team, we can't say for certain. Regards, Malcolm
