TransactChat: A simple chat server written in Haskell with transactional events

Build requirements:

* ghc Version 7.6.3+
    + https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download
* tx-events 0.4 (Matthew Fluet, Kevin Donelly, Edward Amsden)
    + https://www.cs.rit.edu/~mtf/research/tx-events/index.html
    + A modified tarball of the source from the above link is included in 
      this distribution. The only modification made was to the .cabal file
      (tx-events.cabal) to enable the package to build under ghc 7.6.3.

Installing tx-events:

cabal install reqs/tx-events-0.4.tar.gz

Running the application:

make
bin/TransactChat <port number>
