Does anyone know of a version of the ML programming language, preferably Standard ML of New Jersey, for the Amiga? Thanks.

Perhaps a port of Edinburgh ML which is fairly compact and should run in 2 Megabytes. We have 2 Meg workstations over here which run it ok. Distribution could be a problem and would have to be checked out with the LFCS here at Edinburgh. I certainly have permission to do a port but I have no permission to ditribute it.

Are you volunteering? ;^) Parts of the source (especially exception handling) are very UNIX specific. I'd expect the port to require nearly as much effort as was required to port GNU emacs, not a trivial chore indeed. Ralph> One major problem is getting the whole thing onto your Amiga.

The actual raw executable (no pre-loaded libraries) is less than 800KB. Of course, swapping floppies to get enough MB of the libraries loaded to do anything useful would be a bit tedious. :-) Ralph> Not exactly peanuts.

I have compiled an older version of Edinburgh's SML (with gcc:-). The program has a size of about 70kB and the export-file about 500kB. You can work with that SML, if you have at least 600kB RAM in one block free. Georg. -- hessmann@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de hessmann@unipas.uucp
