  16. You can't.  Miranda is a commercial product.  However, unless you have a
  17. reason that you specifically need Miranda, there are other good purely
  18. functional languages around: Haskell (nebula.cs.yale.edu) and LML
  19. (research.att.com) [LML isn't *purely* functional, but it's close].
  20.  
  21. I recommend Haskell.
