<p>
 <a href="HenryCejtin">HenryCejtin</a> wrote the <tt>IntInf</tt> implementation, the original  profiler, the original man pages, the <tt>.spec</tt> files for the RPMs,  and lots of little hacks to speed stuff up.

<p>
We have also benefited from other software development tools and used code from other sources. 
</p>

    <ul>

    <li>
<p>
 MLton was developed using   <a href="SMLNJ">Standard ML of New Jersey</a> and the  <a href="CompilationManager">Compilation Manager (CM)</a>  
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 MLton's lexer (<tt>mlton/frontend/ml.lex</tt>), parser  (<tt>mlton/frontend/ml.grm</tt>), and precedence-parser  (<tt>mlton/elaborate/precedence-parse.fun</tt>) are modified versions of  code from SML/NJ.  
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 The MLton <a href="BasisLibrary">Basis Library</a> implementation of  conversions between binary and decimal representations of reals uses  David Gay's <a class="external" href="http://www.netlib.org/fp/"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">gdtoa</a> library.  
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 The MLton <a href="BasisLibrary">Basis Library</a> implementation uses  modified versions of  portions of the the SML/NJ Basis Library  implementation modules <tt>OS.IO</tt>, <tt>Posix.IO</tt>, <tt>Process</tt>,  and <tt>Unix</tt>. 
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 The MLton <a href="BasisLibrary">Basis Library</a> implementation uses  modified versions of portions of the <a href="MLKit">ML Kit</a> Version 4.1.4  Basis Library implementation modules <tt>Path</tt>, <tt>Time</tt>, and  <tt>Date</tt>.   
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 Many of the benchmarks come from the SML/NJ benchmark suite. 
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 Many of the regression tests come from the ML Kit Version 4.1.4  distribution, which borrowed them from the  <a class="external" href="http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~sestoft/mosml.html"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">Moscow ML</a> distribution.  
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 MLton uses the <a class="external" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gmp/gmp.html"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">GNU multiprecision library</a> for its implementation of <tt>IntInf</tt>.
