  39 a valid SML program, in which case MLton compiles the program to
  40 produce an executable <span class="monospaced">foo</span>.  Since MLton does not support separate
  41 compilation, the program must be the entire program you wish to
  42 compile.  However, the program may refer to signatures and structures
  43 defined in the <a href="BasisLibrary">Basis Library</a>.</p></div>

  45 <a href="MLBasis">ML Basis system</a>.  In this case, <span class="monospaced">mlton foo.mlb</span> will
  46 compile the complete SML program described by the basis <span class="monospaced">foo.mlb</span>,
  47 which may specify both SML files and additional bases.</p></div>
