This is to confirm John's announcement for the Glasgow compiler
(available RSN).  It is not necessary to have LML to be able to use
Haskell, though the compiler will handle both Haskell and LML.  The
speed of Haskell executables is comparable to LML (~50K-70K fcs on a
Sun 3/50 for what that's worth).

We will also be working on a debugger and some other goodies.  Details
to follow.

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

Not so: I have some fiendish examples to try on the Yale compiler :-) :-)
