Previous Versions

Current and recent versions are listed in the Versions index, which gives access to README files for recent versions and the file distribution pages for versions that are currently available for downloading.

Contributed Software

Some contributed software packages can be found at (location to be determined)

Currently this directory contains:
emacs
The sml-mode package provides an emacs mode for editing sml code under Gnu emacs and running the sml top-level as a subprocess of emacs. Originally developed by Matthew J. Morley, it is now maintained by Stefan Monnier (monnier at iro dot umontreal dot ca). Online documentation is available here. The latest sml-mode tarball is available at http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~monnier/elisp/.

tools
Various software tools, including:
  • heap2exec, A "heap2exec" utility for building Unix executables from heap images and the SML/NJ runtime executable. (This replaces Lorenz Huelsbergen's original heap2exec utility.)

lib
Some contributed or "borrowed" libraries, including:
  • Util.tar.Z, utility modules contributed by Nikolai Bjorner and Matthias Blume.
  • getopt.tar.Z, a port (via Haskell) of the GNU getopt library.

Additional packages will be added as they become available. New contributions are eagerly sought!
