- I'm not sure if Guttesen is supporting his Windows port. I suspect he
- is not. I've been unable to contact him.
-
- I have ported the SML/NJ runtime system (versions 0.66 & 0.82) to
- Mach386 and BSD/386, and I've rewritten quite a bit of Guttessen's
- code generator. This code will probably be incorporated into the
- standard SML/NJ distribution "real soon now". If you want to try a
- "pre-alpha" release, let me know. It may take a bit of work to get it
- running on non-BSD Unix variants.
-
- I've run it on a 25 MHz laptop PC with only 12M of memory, and the
- performance is tolerable on medium-sized programs. It does much
- better on a fast 486 with lots of memory.
