[Nickolay B. Semyonov]

I have few questions:

1) Does anybody update Emacs-scripts in distribution of Ocaml to support
Emacs 20.* ?

2) Is there any ocaml interface to OpenGL libraries?

3) Is there any database support for Ocaml? SQL-interface or smth like it.

I do. If you have any problems you should send me a bug report, and I
will see what I can do.
The emacs scripts in the ocaml distribution should work with Emacs 20,
but the indentation code was not updated in ocaml-2.00. You should get
ocaml-mode-2.00.tar.gz from either http://pauillac.inria.fr/olabl/ or
http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/olabl/.

> 2) Is there any ocaml interface to OpenGL libraries?

Not for ocaml, but for olabl which is an extension of ocaml.
Ocaml's type system is too restrictive to provide such an interface in
a type safe way.
You can get more information from
	http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/olabl/

> 3) Is there any database support for Ocaml? SQL-interface or smth like it.

This is lower level but the ocaml distribution contains both a Dbm and
a Berkeley DB interface. I don't know about any SQL interface.

I have found OUnit to be fairly natural.  I haven't used it much, but it
was easy to pick up having had some exposure to JUnit, py.test, and a
Lisp test framework or two.

I've quite enjoyed Xmlm.  It is an event-based pull parser, where you
set up an event stream and then ask it for each event in turn.  By far
the easiest XML parsing paradigm I've used (short of tree querying
systems such as XPath or LINQ); pattern matching over events results in
simpler code than the inversion-of-control usage in a SAX or expat
parser.

I'm new to ocaml and coming (most recently) from ruby, so I was wondering if
there are equivalents to some of the things that I find handy in ruby:

1) Is there something comparable to RSpec (i.e., behavior driven
development)?  A recommendation on which testing module to use?

2) Is there something like 'ri' in ocaml?  (commandline access to basic
documentation)

3) Is there consensus on the best/fastest xml parser?

4) What kind of YAML support is there?  I've seen an ad-hoc writeup to read
in JSON in an ocaml program, but I'm much more familiar with YAML.

Where is the message archive located?  Is it searchable?

Can someone point me to the best resource(s) for newbies?  I have been
reading through what's out there, but its always nice to get a
recommendation.

Thanks,
John

> 2. Ou en est le portage de tkemacs pour ocamltk ? 

Je repete ma reponse du 6 fevrier 1998.

Il n'y a rien de prevu pour ces widgets (ni pour les autres diverses
extensions qu'ont peut trouver de part le monde).
Dans la plupart des cas, les extensions peuvent etre remontee en ocamltk
en utilisant judicieusement le tkcompiler, qui genere des "stubs" a partir
d'un fichier de description. Il peut etre necessaire de completer/corriger
a la main.
Pour un exemple, voir le repertoire blt de la recente distribution 
de ocamltk41.
