[comp.lang.misc] ML Wanted

Subject:  ML wanted
I would like to get ML or a ML-like language for BSD 4.3.

It seems that I remember some discussion of how to get ML a while back,
but I wasn't in the market at the time.  Could someone please email me
the information?  No use subjecting everyone in comp.lang.misc.land to
all the traffic all over again just for me.

Thanks.

CAML is an ML dialect developed at INRIA, available on SUN-3 and VAX11 (Unix
BSD 4.2 and 4.3).
CAML (an acronym for Categorical Abstract Machine Language) is close
in functionality to Standard ML (although release 2.5 does not have modules
yet). It differs mostly in its syntax (closer to the syntax of LCF ML), and
in its ability to manipulate concrete syntaxes through an interface with Yacc.

The CAML library includes
     - trace facilities
     - automatic documentation of programs including type synthesis
     - a latex interface 
     - and other utilities such as pretty-printer, statistics, timings etc.
The documentation includes an introductory Primer, and a more extensive
(270 pages) Reference Manual.

CAML is distributed by
