Hi all,
	Can any one tell me what is the use of
.hi (interface) files. I want to know the steps involved
in the compilation of a .hs file. I went thru the what nhc98
roughly does and saw that it generates interface file for
each module. Please enlighten as to what is the precise
function of interface files.

Regards,
