+This is a port of Nottingham's and Yale's new release of Hugs,
+a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing
+Haskell programs.
+
+This release is largely conformant with Haskell 1.4, including
+monad and record syntax, newtypes, strictness annotations, and
+modules. In addition, it comes packaged with the libraries defined
+in the most recent version of the Haskell Library Report.
+
+Available documentation includes HTML versions of the "Hugs Users
+Manual", the "Haskell 1.4 Report", the "Haskell Library Report" as
+well as a "Gentle Introduction to Haskell". More online information
+is available from http://www.haskell.org.
