Actually Pan (and Pan#) are NOT the same as Fran -- quite a bit different, in fact. You may have to email Conal Elliott for a working version of Fran, OR you could look at my simplified version (which I call "FAL", for "Functional Animation Language") described in Chapter 15 of my textbook, The Haskell School of Expression. You can get a working version of FAL by downloading the source code from www.haskell.org/soe, although I should warn that the graphics lib on which it depends no longer works on all platforms and with all compilers.

Another option is to look at Yampa (www.haskell.org/yampa) which when combined with a suitable graphics back-end is essentially an arrowized version of Fran. I would recommend this route if you want to avoid space-leak problems that are inherent with "pure" Fran.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Fran is a Haskell library (or "embedded language") for interactive

I would like to use Fran as a rapid prototyping environment for animations,
but it appears to be broken under WinHugs.

I'm looking for someone with much better Haskell prowess than myself who
might be able resurrect Fran under WinHugs. Unfortunately I can only offer
my gratitude in return.

It's a long shot, I know.
