Is there any %LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows XP? If not, what is the difference between %LOCALAPPDATA% and %APPDATA% in Windows Vista/7? I was thinking if it's not unreasonable to store Cabal stuff in %APPDATA%, one might as well use that and cover XP, Vista and 7 all in one. -- Deniz Dogan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
