SML knows a lot about the underlying system -- things like register calling conventions and the like -- so it's quite a job to port it. I believe these are the same reasons that the GHC compiler was said to be too hard to port. Moscow ML, which is SML2000 compliant, has been ported and is on the updates page. It's a byte-code interpreter, like Hugs, and was thus similarly easy to port. Russ
