Harlequin MLWorks
The world's first graphical SML 97 development environment.
For SML enthusiasts everywhere, Harlequin MLWorks
brings a new standard of ease and productivity to SML
development. Unlike public domain SML tools, MLWorks is a commercially
developed, high-quality integrated development environment with a rich
set of graphical tools which make MLWorks the most productive SML
development environment available today.
 (Disc 1) (1998).iso/images/mlworks3.jpg)
MLWorks has a sophisticated module system and a polymorphic type system. These provide many of the advantages of object-oriented languages with the added security of a static type system. Automatic storage reclamation makes SML programs more robust while reducing the load on the programmer. The option of interactive development makes programmers more productive, and the comprehensive exception mechanism simplifies debugging.
MLWorks provides the full SML 97 language as revised by the original authors in 1996 and published in 1997. Compatibility options are provided for code written using the original 1990 definition of the language.

Development Environment
The MLWorks development provides unparalleled SML programming tools.
- Graphical browsers and inspectors offer a graphical view of structured SML items, including structures, signatures and values.
- Source-level debugging and tracing is invoked on breakpoints and unhandled errors. Tools allow the programmer to step through programs, view source code, and inspect local variables.
- Graphical profiling offers customizable call count, time slice and heap profiling of stand-alone applications without source code modification.
- Integration with source editors allows MLWorks to invoke your editor on any function definition, the source of an error, or a value being inspected.
- Sophisticated compilation manager provides a more robust version of the 'make' functionality commonly found in programming environments. Generated code can be stored in object files, linked into stand-alone applications, or loaded into the interactive environment.
Language and Runtime
The MLWorks libraries and runtime system support the fast development of efficient applications.
- Generational garbage collection improves code quality, reduces development time, and operates with maximum efficiency.
- Foreign function interface allows programmers to link dynamically to libraries of compiled C code. Users can reuse their existing code within the MLWorks development environment.
- Executable program generation enables stand-alone executable programs to be created for Windows® and UNIX.
- SML basis library facilitates basic operations on built-in datatypes, including streams-based I/O, operating system functions, string manipulation and IEEE floating point.
- Graphics library interfaces provide access to platform-relevant graphics libraries such as X, Motif and Windows.
Product Configurations
Harlequin MLWorks is available in two configurations:
Personal Edition
The Personal Edition contains the full MLWorks compiler and development environment, available free of charge on this SuperCD, so everyone can enjoy the experience of programming in SML.
Key features of the Personal Edition include:
- Incremental optimizing compiler.
- Powerful, dynamic development environment, including an integrated browser, profiler, and debugger.
Professional Edition
The Professional Edition is ideal for programmers who want to exploit ML commercially, or who find the limitations of the Personal Edition too restrictive.
Key features of the Professional Edition include:
- All the features of the Personal Edition.
- Ability to deliver standalone applications.
- No elapsed time limit on runtime.
- Free 60-day "getting started" support.
- Printed documentation set.
