This is the Readme file for Hugs 1.3b, the Haskell User's Gofer System.

Hugs 1.3b is an interpreter that provides an almost complete implementation
of Haskell 1.3; the only feature that is not supported is the module system.
Many Hugs users will prefer to use Hugs 1.4, which is a joint project
between the groups at Nottingham and Yale, and a direct successor to Hugs 1.3.
In particular, Hugs 1.4 supports the use of Haskell modules, and provides
several new libraries and language updates.  However, we have always intended
to maintain the current release as a relatively small and stable system that
will be suitable for teaching and research, even on fairly small machines.
Hence the release of Hugs 1.3b.

Your feedback, comments, suggestions and bug reports are most welcome!
