AFRP (Arrowized Functional Reactive Programming)

Release Notes  (Last Update: May 1, 2002)
-------------------------------------------

Pre-requisites:

    - An installation of Hugs98 or ghc (5.02.2 or higher).

      AFRP has been tested with various releases of hugs98 and ghc
      5.x, under both Linux and Windows 2000.

    - Ross Paterson's Arrows bundle.

      This includes the Arrows library, preprocessor for the arrows
      syntactic sugar, and numerous examples.  The arrows bundle is
      available for download from:

       http://www.haskell.org/arrows

      More information on Arrows is available on Ross Paterson's
      Arrows web page:

Building from Sources:
----------------------

We have tried to make the configuration, compilation and installation
process as easy as possible.  Please let us know if you encounter any
difficulties.

1.  Download AFRP, and untar the distribution into some directory,
    using e.g.:
    
      $ tar xzvf afrp-1.X-src.tgz

2.  Edit the file ./config-<platform>-local.mk to reflect how things
    are set up on your machine.

3.  Type 'make'.

4.  If all went well, type (as root on Linux) 'make install'.

5.  Run the automated test suite:

     $ cd tests
     $ ./testST

which (hopefully) prints:

    All tests succeeded.


Exploring AFRP

Currently, the only documentation of the AFRP interface is the type
signatures and comments provided in src/AFRP.hs.
