- This is file README for Moscow ML 1.42 for Linux/Unix (July 1997)
-
-
- EXTENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
-
- The current version 1.42 of Moscow ML
- * implements the Core language of Standard ML, as revised 1996
- * implements large parts of the new SML Basis Library
- * implements separate compilation and a limited version of the
- Standard ML Modules language, with signatures and structures
- but no functors
- * can produce compact stand-alone executables (a la Caml Light)
- * supports quotations and antiquotations, useful for metaprogramming
- * includes several new libraries and a new type `char'
-
- New in version 1.42 of Moscow ML
-
- * support for writing CGI scripts (thanks to Jonas Barklund)
- * new structures Array2, CommandLine, and Option from the Basis Library
- * automatically includes required libraries when linking an executable
- * provides faster bytecode execution (thanks to Doug Currie)
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Moscow ML was compiled under Linux 2.0.12 with gcc 2.7.2, and requires
- 2 MB of RAM or more. The installation requires 1.6 MB disk space.
-
- LIST OF FILES
-
- Executables and bytecode files:
- bin/* Moscow ML top-level system and batch compiler
- lib/* Bytecode files and standard libraries
- tools/* Tools to infer unit inter-dependencies
-
- Documentation files:
- install.txt Installation instructions for Linux
- README This file
- doc/manual.dvi User manual (DVI format)
- doc/mosmlref.dvi A compact guide to Moscow ML syntax and primitives
- copyrght/* Copyright notices (for Caml Light, SML/NJ, ...)
-
- AUTHOR AND CREDITS
-
- Moscow ML was written by
- Sergei Romanenko (roman@keldysh.ru)
- Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences
- Miusskaya Pl. 4, 125047 Moscow, Russia.
- and Peter Sestoft (sestoft@dina.kvl.dk),
- Department of Mathematics and Physics, Royal Veterinary and
- Agricultural University, Thorvaldsensvej 40, DK-1871 Frederiksberg C,
- Denmark. Much of the work was done at the Technical University of
- Denmark, and while visiting AT&T Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, USA.
-
- Moscow ML owes much to:
- * the CAML Light implementation by Xavier Leroy and Damien Doligez
- (INRIA, Rocquencourt, France); especially the Caml Light bytecode
- generator and the runtime system;
- * the ML Kit by Lars Birkedal, Nick Rothwell, Mads Tofte and David Turner
- (Copenhagen University, Denmark, and Edinburgh University, Scotland);
- * inspiration from the SML/NJ compiler developed at Princeton
- University and AT&T Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, USA; and
- * the good work by Doug Currie, Flavors Technology, USA, on the
- MacOS port.

-
- To compile Moscow ML for Unix systems, you will need the source files,
- gcc, make, and Perl. Moscow ML has been rewritten in ML and can
- compile itself; hence the installation under Unix has become simpler.
-
- To recompile Moscow ML for MS DOS, you will need the source files,
- djgpp, perl, and Borland C++ version 2.0 (or later).
- * Djgpp and go32 can be obtained from
- ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
- or ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/mirror/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
