Written as a reference for programmers who use SML, this text provides descriptions of the types, values, and modules that make up the Library and a set of manual pages defining its signatures and structures. In addition, some chapters are devoted to descriptions of some component areas, including I/O and text handling, in some cases with short tutorial sections indicating how the types and functions are used. The manual pages describe the signatures, structures, and functors specified by the Library, and their semantics. The modules are presented alphabetically. A bibliography and general index, SML identifier index, and raised exception index are included. Gansner is with AT&T Laboratories; Reppy is at the U. of Chicago.
