  SML/NJ is <a href="license.html">free, open source</a> software.
  </p>
+ <a href="dist/working/index.html">
+ <h3>Downloads</h3>
+ </a>
+ Although we have not "blessed" it as a full release,
+ we <i>strongly</i> recommend using one of our recent
+ <a href="dist/working/index.html">working</a> versions.
+ Currently, the most recent such version
+ is <a href="dist/working/110.62/index.html">110.62</a>.
  <a href="new.html">
  <h3>What's New</h3>
  </a>
  <ul>
+   <li>[2/2/07] Working

+    </li>
+ <li>Working version
+   <a href="dist/working/110.60/index.html">110.60</a> available.
+   New directory layout, subversion-based source repository,
+   beta-releases of new program generator tools.</li>

+     <a href="dist/working/110.59/index.html">110.59</a> available.
+     Bugfixes and minor improvements.</li>
+ <li>Working version
+     <a href="dist/working/110.58/index.html">110.58</a> available.
+     Among other improvements, this version adds support for
+     Intel-based Macs as well as x86-64-based Linux machines.  Moreover,
+     it comes with <b>lexgen</b>, a brand-new drop-in replacement for
+     <tt>ml-lex</tt>.</li>
+ <li>Working version
+     <a href="dist/working/110.57/index.html">110.57</a>
+     available.  Bugfixes and minor feature enhancements.</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.51">Working version 110.51 available.</a>
+   This version adds 64-bit integer and word arithmetic to the
+   <i>Basis</i> library (structures <tt>Int64</tt> and
+   <tt>Word64</tt>).  (At the moment, the implementation is rather
+   inefficient, though.)</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.50">Working version 110.50 available.</a>
+   This version corrects a problem related to <tt>struct</tt> arguments
+   and results with NLFFI on the x86 platform.  It also improves
+   back-trace support and adds a simple test coverage tool.
+   In addition, CM can now deal directly with "lazy sml" source code.</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.49">Working version 110.49 available.</a>
+   Version 110.49 fixes another show-stopper bug in the x86 c-calls
+   implementation, fixes a bug in the signal masking code, and enables
+   Cygwin support.</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.48">Working version 110.48 available.</a>
+   Version 110.48 fixes a show-stopper bug in the x86 c-calls
+   implementation introduced by 110.47.  It also resolves a few other
+   minor issues.</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.47">Working version 110.47 available.</a>
+   The most important change is the availability of preliminary
+   implementations of the NLFFI foreign-function interface under Mac OS
+   X and Win32.</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.46">Working version 110.46 available.</a>
+    We are moving closer to compliance with the Basis Library specification.
+    There are also bugfixes and other minor enhancements to the installer,
+    the Windows port, the <tt>ml-build</tt> command-line tool, and
+    the Compilation Manager.
+    </li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.45">Working version 110.45 available.</a>
+    This is a maintenance release which mostly fixes problems compiling
+    the runtime system code using GCC 3.3.
+    </li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.44">Working version 110.44 available.</a>
+    This update fixes several important bugs, improves the new
+    installer, provides support for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), and
+    continues to bring the Basis implementation closer to the
+    specification.</li>
+ <li><a href="new.html#110.43">Working version 110.43 available.</a>
+    This is a fairly major update which brings back an operational
+    port to the Microsoft Windows platform as well as extensive
+    work on the Basis library (including support for <tt>IntInf.int</tt>).</li>
+ <li>The SML/NJ source CVS repository has been moved to SourceForge.
+   The
+  <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/smlnj">SML/NJ SourceForge
+             project page</a>
+  has a link to information about CVS access.  The distribution files
+  are also in the process of being moved to SourceForge.  A mirror of
+  the www.smlnj.org is available at the
+  <a href="http://smlnj.cs.uchicago.edu">
+  University of Chicago</a>. The Bell Labs SML/NJ web site is now obsolete and
+  will be replaced with an indirection to www.smlnj.org. [March 10, 2003]</li>
  <li>We have switched over to a new mailing list hosted by
      <a href="http://sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</a>.  The name of
      the new list is <img src="smlnj-list-logo.jpg" align=center>.
      (To avoid receiving
      to much spam we do not show the name of the mailing list in clear text
      and render it as a JPG image instead.  If spammers start using fancy
-     OCR, we give up.)
+     OCR, we give up.)</li>
  <li><a href="new.html#110.42">Working version 110.42 available.</a>
      This relatively small but important update (among other things)
      fixes a memory leak problem in CML and provides support for MacOS
      X 10.2.  (We have provided a MacOS <a
-     href="ftp://ftp.research.bell-labs.com/dist/smlnj/working/110.42/smlnj-macosx.dmg">disk
+     href="/dist/working/110.42/smlnj-macosx.dmg">disk
      image</a> with pre-compiled runtime systems for both MacOS 10.1
      and 10.2 for use by those without developer tools.  See the README
      file within this disk image for details.)
- <li><a href="new.html#110.41">Working version 110.41 available.</a>
-     The biggest highlight of this version is that it fixes a long-standing
-     problem with the garbage collector that would lead to constant, slow,
-     but unbounded memory leakage.
- <li>A new <a href="ftp://ftp.research.bell-labs.com/dist/smlnj/working/110.40/runtime.tgz">
-     runtime tarball</a> has been uploaded to our ftp server.  It fixes
-     a potentially serious problem with the GC (in programs that allocate
-     very large arrays).
- <li><a href="new.html#110.40">Working version 110.40 available.</a>
-     This release features many improvements to the libraries and
-     has seen substantial work on the MLRISC backend.</li>
- <li><a href="new.html#110.39">Working version 110.39 available.</a>
-     This is mainly a bugfix release, but there

- <li><a href="new.html#110.38">Working version 110.38 available</a>.
-     This release improves the internal organization
-     of the MLRISC backend and comes with a completely overhauled FFI
-     implementation. There are also
