Whenever I start Hugs, it always says


How exactly do you do that?

What exactly do you mean when you say "start Haskell?" Which compiler and operating system are you using? –  Rhymoid Nov 21 '11 at 23:21
Use GHCi and GHC not Hugs –  alternative Nov 22 '11 at 0:55

If you're launching it from a command-line (Bash prompt, Windows Command Prompt, or the like), you would just change your command from ... to ... -98. (For example, if you've been running the command haskell, you would now run the command haskell -98.)

If you're launching it from a shortcut icon in Windows, such as a start-menu item, you have to modify that shortcut: right-click, select "Properties", and change "Target" from ... (whatever it is now) to ... -98 (whatever it is now, plus a space, a hyphen, and ninety-eight).

Well, just add -98 as command line option ...

See Hugs manual, section 7.
