Hi Henri, Sorry for not responding at that time, but I had preciously kept your original Email and I intended to recontact you at some point. This document was originally written by Xavier Leroy for a course he taught at the École Normale Supérieure years ago. I translated them from Caml-Light to OCaml last year since I've been using them myself for a course I taught at École Polytechnique. I am currently revising them and adding some new material while I am repeating the course this year. I have no doubt that there is a potential audience for this book that is much broader than just a the few students in my class. This could encourage people who already know OCaml but who are new to system programming to learn system programming more smoothly; conversely, they could also show hackers who are new to OCaml that they can still do their favorite system hasks in OCaml while taking advantage of high-level programming. And, as you mention, this could complement the documentation of the Unix library. So, translating these notes into English would certainly be profitable to the community. If you are still willing to do the translation after I finished the revision, we can continue discussing it privately.
