This is a prepackaged collection of Haskell 98 documentation.
Currently it contains the language and library reports and their
errata, and the Gentle Introduction to Haskell 98.  There are no
immediate plans to add more documentation, but this may change in the
future.

The following copyright notice apply to both the language report and
the library report:

    Copyright (c) Simon Peyton Jones and John Hughes. 

    The authors intend this Report to belong to the entire Haskell
    community, and so we grant permission to copy and distribute it
    for any purpose, provided that it is reproduced in its entireity,
    including this Notice. Modified versions of this Report may also
    be copied and distributed for any purpose, provided that the
    modified version is clearly presented as such, and that it does
    not claim to be a definition of the language Haskell 98.

(See the errata for this.)

The authors of the reports have asked me to distribute the errata page
alongside with the reports, so it is included.

The Gentle Introduction to Haskell 98 has the following copyright and
license notice:

     Copyright  1999 Paul Hudak, John Peterson and Joseph Fasel

     Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
     a copy of ``A Gentle Introduction to Haskell'' (the Text), to deal
     in the Text without restriction, including without limitation the
     rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense,
     and/or sell copies of the Text, and to permit persons to whom the
     Text is furnished to do so, subject to the following condition:
     The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be
     included in all copies or substantial portions of the Text.

All files in this collection which were authored by me can be treated
as if they were in the public domain.

This collection was put together from the following foreign sources:
  http://haskell.systemsz.cs.yale.edu/definition/haskell98-report-html.tar.gz
         (as of 1999-04-28)
  http://haskell.systemsz.cs.yale.edu/definition/haskell98-library-html.tar.gz
         (as of 1999-04-28)
  http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/haskell/haskell98-bugs.html
         (as of 1999-10-28)
  http://www.haskell.org/tutorial/haskell-98-tutorial-sources.tar.gz
         (as of 1999-10-22)

In the future, the reports too will be included in source form instead
of the HTML, so that more formats can be generated.

The Makefile is set up to install the documentation into /usr/local.
One can override this by overriding on the make command line (or by
editing defs.mk) the applicable GNU-standard make variables.  The
Makefile requires GNU make.  To generate the Tutorial, you need
Hugs 98.
