T'was a joke - I pulled an error code from an area of my expertise (where 
all the error codes are in the 600 - 800 range, or actually the -600 to 
-800 range, but they're rarely referred to as negative numbers).  :-)

Wait, that's *not* the point of Haskell?

The point of Haskell is that you can spend more time on the algorithm 
and less time on figuring out how to implement it on a computer. You 
will still need an algorithm in the first place though. ;-)
