There are a couple of things about that function... First, I did see it, but its description is rather vague on what it does. From the description, it sounds like it is possible that it would not return an absolute path; I read it more as expanding symlinks. If it does indeed return an absolute path, I think that should be stated explicitly for clarity. > Wildcard matching/globbing was intentionally left out, so as to have > less disagreements when trying to put it in to base :) Heh, that's fine. I'm happy to donate that code in MissingH to your library and/or base if people want it. Thanks, BTW, for the library you're maintaining. I use it heavily. -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
