The ML Kit is a straight translation of the Definition of Standard ML into a collection of Standard ML modules. FOR example, every inference rule in the Definition is translated into a small piece of Standard ML code which implements it. The translation has been done with as little ORiginality as possible - even variable conventions from the Definition are carried straight over to the Kit. The Kit is intended as a tool box fOR those people in the programming language community who may want a self-contained parser OR type checker fOR full Standard ML but do not want to understand the clever bits of a high-perfORmance compiler. We have tried to write simple code and modular interfaces. Version 1 interpreter, documentation Nick Rothwell, David N.
