Hello,
when I try to install hugs on my DOS/Windows 16 bit machine (hugs16.zip), I have 
the following problems:

    1) The files stored in the archived are stored with "/" (Unix) not "\" (Dos) 
in their paths. Very funny! However, I can handle this by decompressing under 
Linux and moving the files onto my DOS partition.

    2) There are file names longer than 8 bytes (not counting the extension). 
The problem becomes essential in two directories containing html-files (whose 
names escape me at the moment) where the first 8 letters of both directory names 
agree, so they are mapped onto the *same* DOS directory. Unforunately, the two 
directories contain files indentical in name.

    3) On executing HUGS.EXE or WINHUGS.EXE it says

             Prelude not found on current path: "{Hugs}\lib;{Hugs}\lib\hugs\;
             {Hugs}\lib\ghc;{Hugs}\lib\glaExts"

       The Prelude is definitely present. While now the "\" are correct (this 
bug must have been fixed lately; thank you), something with "{Hugs}" must be 
wrong.
       
Best regards
Dirk Rehberger
