This is file README for Moscow ML 2.00 for Linux/Unix (June 2000) EXTENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION The current version 2.00 of Moscow ML * implements the full Standard ML language, as revised 1997, including Modules and some extensions * yet is backwards compatible with versions prior to 2.00 * implements large parts of the new SML Basis Library * implements separate compilation * can produce compact stand-alone executables (a la Caml Light) * supports quotations and antiquotations, useful for metaprogramming * supports dynamic linking of external functions under Linux (x86 and Alpha), FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Digital Unix, HP-UX, MacOS, and MS Windows'95/98/NT New in version 2.00 of Moscow ML * The full SML Modules language (structures, signatures, and functors) is now supported, thanks to Claudio Russo. Also, several extensions to the SML Modules language are provided: - higher-order functors: functors may be defined within structures and functors - first-class modules: structures and functors may be packed and then handled as Core language values, which may then be unpacked as structures or functors again - recursive modules: signatures and structures may be recursively defined * Value polymorphism has become friendlier: non-generalizable free type variables are left free, and become instantiated (once only) when the bound variable is used * Added facilities for creating and communicating with subprocesses (structure Unix and Signal from SML Basis Library). * Added facilities for efficient functional generation of HTML code (structure Msp); also supports the writing of ML Server Page scripts. * Added facilities setting and accessing `cookies' in CGI scripts (structure Mosmlcookie), thanks to Hans Molin, Uppsala, Sweden. * The Gdimage structure now produces PNG images (using Thomas Boutell's gd library). SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Compilation under Unix is best done using GNU make, gcc, and Perl. A binary installation requires 5 MB disk space; a source installation requires 25 MB disk space.

AUTHOR AND CREDITS Moscow ML was written by Sergei Romanenko ([email protected]) Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences Miusskaya Pl. 4, 125047 Moscow, Russia and Claudio V. Russo ([email protected]), University of Cambridge. Thanks to Don Sannella at LFCS, Division of Informatics, University of Edinburgh for funding under EPSRC grant GR/K63795 and Peter Sestoft ([email protected]), 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; * the good work by Doug Currie, Flavors Technology, USA, on the MacOS port and many improvements; and * feedback, contributions, and useful suggestions, in particular from Ken Friis Larsen, but also from Jonas Barklund, Mike Gordon, Michael Norrish, Konrad Slind, Jakob Lichtenberg, Hans Molin, and numerous other people.
