Z. glark /glark/ To figure something out from context. "The System III manuals are pretty poor, but you can generally glark the meaning from context.

[Jargon File] Glasgow Haskell Compiler GHC A Haskell 1. 2 compiler written in Haskell by the AQUA project at Glasgow University, headed by Simon Peyton Jones glasgow. ac. uk> throughout the 1990s [started?]. GHC can generate either C or native code for SPARC, DEC Alpha and other platforms. It can take advantage of features of gcc such as global register variables and has an extensive set of optimisations. GHC features an extensible I/O system based on a "monad", in-line C code, fully fledged unboxed data types, incrementally-updatable arrays, mutable reference types, generational garbage collector, concurrent threads. Time and space profiling is also supported. It requires GNU gcc 2. 1+ and Perl. GHC runs on Sun-4, DEC Alpha, Sun-3, NeXT, DECstation HP-PA and SGI. Latest version: 4. 01, as of 1998-11-30.
