+This is file README for Moscow ML 1.44 for Linux/Unix (August 1999)
+
+Soon 2.00
+
+EXTENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
+
+The current version 1.44 of Moscow ML
+
+    * implements the Core language of Standard ML, as revised 1997
+    * implements large parts of the new SML Basis Library
+    * implements separate compilation and a limited version of the
+      Standard ML Modules language, with signatures and structures
+      but no functors
+    * can produce compact stand-alone executables (a la Caml Light)
+    * supports quotations and antiquotations, useful for metaprogramming
+    * supports dynamic linking of external functions under Linux, FreeBSD, 
+      NetBSD, Solaris, Digital Unix, HP-UX, MacOS, and MS Windows'95/98/NT
+
+New in version 1.44 of Moscow ML
+
+    * Access to GNU gdbm persistent hashtables (structures Gdbm, Polygdbm)
+    * Interface to the PostgreSQL database server (structure Postgres)
+    * Interface to the MySQL database server (structure Mysql)
+    * Interface to POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions (structure Regex)
+    * Interface to sockets (structure Socket)
+    * Faster bytecode execution (when compiled with GCC or egcs)
+    * Registration of ML and C functions simplify callbacks
+
+SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
+
+Moscow ML was compiled under Linux 2.0.35 with gcc 2.7.2.1 and libc 5.
+The binary installation requires 4 MB disk space.
+

+
+AUTHOR AND CREDITS
+
+Moscow ML was written by
+    Sergei Romanenko (roman@keldysh.ru)
+    Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences
+    Miusskaya Pl. 4, 125047 Moscow, Russia.
+and Peter Sestoft (sestoft@dina.kvl.dk),
+    Department of Mathematics and Physics, Royal Veterinary and
+    Agricultural University, Thorvaldsensvej 40, DK-1871 Frederiksberg C, 
+    Denmark.  Much of the work was done at the Technical University of
+    Denmark, and while visiting AT&T Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, USA.
+
+Moscow ML owes much to:
+    * the CAML Light implementation by Xavier Leroy and Damien Doligez
+      (INRIA, Rocquencourt, France); especially the Caml Light bytecode
+      generator and the runtime system;
+    * the ML Kit by Lars Birkedal, Nick Rothwell, Mads Tofte and David Turner
+      (Copenhagen University, Denmark, and Edinburgh University, Scotland);
+    * inspiration from the SML/NJ compiler developed at Princeton
+      University and AT&T Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, USA; and
+    * the good work by Doug Currie, Flavors Technology, USA, on the
+      MacOS port.

+
+To compile Moscow ML for Unix systems, you will need the source files,
+gcc, make, and Perl.  Moscow ML has been rewritten in ML and can
+compile itself; hence the installation under Unix has become simpler.
+
+To recompile Moscow ML for MS DOS, you will need the source files,
+djgpp, perl, and Borland C++ version 2.0 (or later).
+    * Djgpp and go32 can be obtained from 
+      ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/ 
+      or ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/mirror/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
