I need information about functional environments (like MacGofer)
for DOS (or Windows). It will be used in a first year CS course
so it should be easy to use.

Any hints welcome.

Thanks, Markus

        Unfortunately no hints, But I would also be very interested to
hear about a DOS or Windows programming platform.

Later.

about ``functional environments (like MacGofer) for DOS (or Windows)''.

It might be worth mentioning that the standard version of Gofer runs
under DOS and is available by anonymous ftp from nebula.cs.yale.edu in
the directory pub/haskell/gofer.

Gofer isn't the only choice for functional programming under DOS.  If
you're interested in strict languages with more of an ML feel, you might
want to look at Caml Light which, as far as I know, is available by
anonymous ftp from nuri.inria.fr (128.93.1.26) in lang/caml-light.

Happy (functional) programming!
Mark

The archive has moved to ftp.inria.fr (192.93.2.54).

Thanks to all who sent information. Here is a short summary of what
I received:
------------------------------------
 *  Gofer has been ported to PC-DOS and OS/2
 *  A (DOS) version is available from ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk (130.209.240.50)
    in pub/haskell/gofer (don't forget the unz50p1.exe to unzip...)
 *  Some people work on Gofer versions for Windows

Information about an other system has been posted some days ago:
