Hi Steve,

I just installed the new MLTon release. A few remarks:

1) it's a bit unfortunate that you only distribute rpm. If someone, like
me, only wants to have a local copy (not system-wide), he needs to convert
it to .cpio and then to .tgz (rpm refuses to install even with --root set)

2) the binary does not run on our SuSe Linux machines. It complains with
"Unable to run MLton"

I'm currently recompiling MLton from the sources, but I don't know that
the message means (I didn't find it in the doc)

cheers,

	Simon
