Yes, it could be. When I find soem free time, I'll try to take a look and see
if I can conclude something regards.

I fully understand you. No problem.

Since Linux (Gentoo) is my primarily platform, it is not such a big problem.

I have desire to learn Haskell & write some application(s) which would like to
share with Win32 users and therefore I wanted to have an ability to compile it 
& test it on my box.

otoh, since I'm running win98 under win4lin (which at the moment supports only
win98 & winme), I'm stuck with win98 (and that's the only Win32 license I have
and do not plan to upgrade my win32 OS).

But, if you regularly provide Win32 binaries, it's OK. The problem was with 6.2
which didn't work on win98 at all.

The main thing that Linux version runs nicely.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Gour
