Socket does not appear in what I consider to be the definitive online
description of the basis library
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/basis/index.html
However, I remember hearing somewhere that Socket will appear in the
ever-forthcoming basis library book. Moscow ML doesn't make clear the
distinction between the standard library and their extensions, so I
don't read anything into Socket being on their pages. Also, last time
I checked, the Moscow ML and SML/NJ Socket structures were different.
If the book ever comes out and Socket is in it, I'll move it up on the
priority list. Until then, I am willing to wait for someone else to
do it. Tom Murphy said that he was working on it at some point.
