You could try "An Overview of Miranda" by David Turner in SIGPLAN
Notices, December 1986. If you want the software, contact Research Software
Ltd, 23 St Augustines Road, Canterbury, CT1 1XP, Britain. or email
[email protected].
There is also a book called "Introduction to Functional Programming"
by Richard Bird and Philip Wadler. This uses a functional language which
is very similar to Miranda.
I've never used Miranda but I have used Orwell extensively (a very
similar language). Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
Geoff.

| 382.2 | it's all happening on the Web | STAR::PRAETORIUS | what does the elephant need? | Thu Sep 08 1994 22:37 | 16 |
| Clean is available on the net (as are Gofer and Haskell, both of
which are fairly close to Miranda). Miranda's a commercial product, so
you're not going to find it laying around.:-(
Here are some Web starting points for anybody interested in func-
tional programming (and remember, if your program ain't functional,
it's dysfunctional:-)

| 382.3 | Pointers? | ODIXIE::WALTERS | If it ain't broke...fix it anyway | Mon Sep 12 1994 11:44 | 12 |
| Thanks for the replies. Regarding -.1 by "available on the net" do you
mean ours or Internet? If ours, might you have pointers to Clean,
Gofer, and Haskell?
Oh by the way, are there any versions of the above written to run on
PC's?
Thanks for any info.
Best regards,
craig

| 382.4 | if you can get to the Web, you're home free | STAR::PRAETORIUS | what does the elephant need? | Thu Sep 15 1994 15:14 | 7 |
| By on the net, I mean the Internet - but if you can run Mosaic, you
can probably do FTP from the Internet, so machs nichts.
Gofer runs on Macs and PCs, Clean on Macs (PC version alleged to be
forthcoming, I think). There are a number of tutorials out there, too,
for SML and Haskell (Gofer implements a fairly faithful dialect of
Haskell).
