I am running GHC on a windows XP platform.
The bug i did report has nothing to do with java.
Yes I found the problem while running a java program,
but then i did try to execute
ghc -e "reverse \"2<3\""
directly on a command line,
and i get a message like
"the system can't find the specified file"

You need to tell us exactly what shell you were using (Windows command prompt, cygwin bash, MSYS bash, etc.), exactly the command you typed and the exact error message you get (just cut & paste).

I suspect this is just due to the shell you were using not understanding the quoting you were using. The command you give above should work in bash, but probably not Windows command prompt.

Cheers,
Simon
