An archive of the Clean Mailing list is available at

I think you mean the trace functions. They can be found in
StdDebug in Clean's standard environment. As an alternative
you can use the WrapDebug package that I've just released,
see <http://www.cs.kun.nl/~clean/wrapdebug.html>. One
advantage of this package is that you don't have to
define toString for the values you want to print.
