- I'm afraid this repost is just missing the point. The original
- posting asks for IBM PC implementations of Caml. The ``Caml Strong''
- implementation, described in the repost, does not run on the PC.
-
- On the other hand, there is a PC version of the Caml Light
- implementation. Actually, there are two of them: one runs on any PC,
- but is severely limited by the 640k barrier; the other requires a
- 80386 or 80486, but runs in protected mode, meaning no memory
- limitations and reasonable speed.
-
- All Caml implementations are available by anonymous FTP from
- nuri.inria.fr (128.93.1.26). Caml Light is in directory
- lang/caml-light. The currently distributed version is 0.4. Release
- 0.5 is coming Real Soon Now. It adds some interesting language
- features (e.g. Mauny's parsers and printers over streams). There's
- now a complete user's manual. And lots of work has been done on the
- microcomputer ports, in particular to add a portable set of graphics
- primitives.
-
- Concerning SML on a PC, I have heard about three implementations:
-
- * Micro-ML, or uML, developed at University of Umea.
- It is available by anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.ume.se, file
- pub/uml021.zoo. This is an interpreter for the core SML language,
- without the modules.
-
- * A port of Edinburgh ML 0.35. Available by FTP from
- forwiss.uni-passau.de.
-
- * A port of the New Jersey compiler to the 80386 PC under Windows,
- developed by Yngvi Guttesen at the Technical University of Denmark. A
- report on this appeared in the last ML workshop, but I don't know if
- the system is distributed yet. Seems to require a high-end PC (32M).
