Two Haskell implementations are currently in the works.  Groups at Yale
and Glasgow are working hard to make Haskell available to the rest of the
world.  Both implementations are nearing completion and are undergoing
local testing.  We have given up promising specific release dates but watch
for something Real Soon Now.  News will be posted here when we are ready
to release either compiler.  Both implementations will be released by ftp
from sites at Yale and Glasgow.

There will be a number of major differences between the two implementations.
Ours is implemented on top of T and will initially require users to obtain
a copy of T (which will be distributed with Haskell) while the Glasgow
group is using LML.  In the long run, we plan to supply an entire
environment including incremental compilation, a good debugging system,
and other Haskell specific software tools.  The environment supplied with
the initial release will be sparse but usable (we hope!).

Yale's implementation will be far superior Glasgow's! :-)
