"Roses are Rational"...

It was an OK product. A little buggy though. Still, I think we had a 
fairly old version.

Haskell is somewhat odd in that *parsing* Haskell source code is quite 
hard. However, if you're drawing boxes and lines, there's no parsing to 
do, so... ;-)

I suspect certain programs are going to come out looking great this way, 
while others will come out looking like spaggetti!
