+This is the root directory for functional-programming tools
+distributed by the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University.
+Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@dcs.gla.ac.uk> is the ringleader of this
+effort. The tools are:
+
+ ghc the Glasgow Haskell compilation system
+ hslibs collection of Haskell libraries
+ haggis the Haggis GUI toolkit
+ happy the Happy Haskell parser generator
+ nofib the NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite
+ literate the Glasgow "literate programming" system
+ mkworld configuration system (derived from X11 imake)
+ glafp-utils shared utility programs
+
+The "literate" stuff is usually distributed *with* other systems, but
+not necessarily. Components which are always part of a distribution
+(never stand-alone) are "glafp-utils" and "mkworld" (a configuration
+system).
+
+There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution. Please
+consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.
