All the documents available on the web are included in all the packages.
(* Please note that options/instructions for out-of-date packages
may differ slightly from the ones on the web. Always follow the
instructions from the package itself.)
<p>
The unified source tree contains the complete Haskell sources for the
compiler, runtime system, standard prelude, and libraries (including
Binary, FFI, IOExtras, etc) for <b>nhc98</b>, and current versions of
<em>GreenCard</em>, <em>hp2graph</em>, <em>hmake</em>, and <em>cpphs</em>.
In addition, it contains bootstrapping C sources in case you
don't already have a Haskell compiler to build nhc98 with.
<p>
The binary packages contain just the executables, interface files, and
object files for the compiler, runtime system, standard prelude,
libraries (including Binary, FFI, IOExtras, etc), <em>GreenCard</em>,
<em>hp2graph</em>, <em>hmake</em>, and <em>cpphs</em>. In short,
everything (except the sources) needed for normal compilation, heap
profiling, time profiling.
<p>
The <a href="install.html">installation instructions</a> should
be comprehensive, but if you have any problems, please mail
<a href="mailto:nhc-bugs@haskell.org"><tt>nhc-bugs@haskell.org</tt></a>.
