<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know, being a totally ignorant Haskell newbie, that I should soon
get to know my pecking order.</DIV>
<DIV>But this e-paper shuffle is so damned annoying. i.e. "<STRONG>Hello
World</STRONG>"</DIV>
<DIV>In .txt mode is <STRONG>11 bytes</STRONG>.</DIV>
<DIV>In NoteTab Lite .txt (with url; say "Ripose.com.au") is <STRONG>28
bytes</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>In WordPad .doc <STRONG>4,603 kbytes</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>In MS Word .doc <STRONG>19,456 kbytes</STRONG>.</DIV>
<DIV>I would have though that the first project might have been the email
itself.</DIV>
<DIV>X does not seem to have been considered here.</DIV>
<DIV>Why is so much rubbish data going down the line?</DIV>
<DIV>Am I asking too many question? </DIV>
<DIV>On the squeak-dev list I would be getting; Well $#1*? stop winging
and fix it.</DIV>
<DIV>I would, if I knew that Haskell is the right tool to use, if a tool is
really needed at all.</DIV>
<DIV>Does anybody get my reasoning? </DIV>
<DIV>At my age 64.5 I'm too old to start another language, then find out that
it's another dead end.</DIV>
<DIV>I'm not trolling (I forgot to mention, I hate trolls too).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With respect</DIV>
