   Moscow ML
  
      A light-weight implementation of {Standard ML} written by
      Sergei Romanenko of the
      {Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics} with assistance
      from Peter Sestoft , {Royal Veterinary
      and Agricultural University}.   Moscow ML is based on {CAML
      Light}.
  
      Version: 1.20 implements the Standard ML Core language.
  
      The sublanguage of Modules implemented by Moscow ML contains
      signatures and non-nested structures, and identifies
      structures with source files.   It is certainly less expressive
      than the full Standard ML Modules language, but the
      {type-safe} {separate compilation} facility is simple, useful,
      and easy to use.   It is the intention to implement the full
      Standard ML Modules language (including functors) in due
      course.
  
      Compilation of a {signature} produces a compiled interface
      file, which is used when compiling other signatures and
      structures.
  
      Compilation of a structure produces a {bytecode} file.
      Bytecode files are compact and load fast.   For instance, a
      3250-line program consisting of 24 structures and 17
      signatures compiles to 221 KB of bytecode and 241 KB of
      compiled signatures.   Starting the ML system and loading the
      24 bytecode files takes 1-2 cpu seconds plus network delays,
      less that 5 seconds real time in all.
  
      Release 1.20 permits loading of precompiled bytecode files
      into the top-level interactive session.   The next release will
      be able to create stand-alone executables by linking bytecode
      files.
  
      There is a mechanism for adding basis libraries, as in {Caml
      Light}.   Release 1.20 includes the basis libraries Array,
      List, and Vector and the {MS-DOS} version includes the
      Graphics library from {Caml Light}.
  
      In principle, Moscow ML can be compiled on any {platform}
      supported by {Caml Light}.   So far we have tried {Intel
      80386}-based {IBM PC}s running {MS-DOS}, {Microsoft Windows},
      {OS/2} or {Linux}, {DEC MIPS} running {Ultrix}, {DEC Alpha}
      running {OSF/1}, {Sun-4} running {SunOS}, {HP9000} running
      {HP/UX}, {SGI MIPS} running {IRIX} 5.
  
      Moscow ML is particularly useful when fast compilation and
      modest storage consumption are more important than fast
      program execution.
  
      Thanks to the efficient Caml Light run-time system used in
      Moscow ML, it compiles fast and uses little memory, typically
      5-10 times less memory than {SML/NJ} 0.93 and 2-3 times less
      than {Edinburgh ML}.   Yet the bytecode is only 3 to 10 times
      slower than SML/NJ 0.93 compiled native code (fast on {IBM
      PC}s, slower on {RISC}s).
  
      {DOS
      (ftp://dina.kvl.dk/pub/Peter.Sestoft/mosml/mos12bin.zip)}.
      {Linux
      (ftp://dina.kvl.dk:pub/Peter.Sestoft/mosml/linux-mos12bin.tar.gz)}.
      {Source
      (ftp://dina.kvl.dk:pub/Peter.Sestoft/mosml/mos12src.tar.gz)}.
  
      {Caml Light} 0.61 and {gcc} are required to recompile Moscow
      ML for {Unix} or Caml Light 0.61, {djgpp}, {Perl}, and
      {Borland C++} version 2.0 (or later) to recompile Moscow ML
      for {DOS}.
