Hi Razvan,

do you (or any other hets developer) have some issues concerning
Shellac? I cannot really judge about it, because I basically assured
compilation.

I soon want to switch over to ghc-6.10.1 and the hierarchical
uni-modules for HTk and uDrawGraph.

Cheers Christian

I've patched these two packages and updated the darcs repositories, which may 
be found at:

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rdockins/shellac/
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rdockins/shellac-editline/

I'd appreciate it if you would do a build and sanity test on the updated 
packages before I update on Hackage.  The change to base-4 introduced a non-
backwards-compatible change in exception handling, which rippled into my 
interface for Shellac.  I'll feel better about a release with a positive build 
report from someone else :-)

Thanks,
Rob
