   4 In theory every strictly conforming Standard ML program should run on
   5 MLton.  However, often large SML projects use implementation specific
   6 features so some "porting" is required. Here is a partial list of
   7 software that is known to run on MLton.

   9 * Utility libraries:
  10 ** <:SMLNJLibrary:> - distributed with MLton
  11 ** <:MLtonLibraryProject:> - various libraries located on the MLton subversion repository
  12 ** <!ViewGitDir(mlton,master,lib/mlton)> - the internal MLton utility library, which we hope to cleanup and make more accessible someday
  13 ** http://github.com/seanmcl/sml-ext[sml-ext], a grab bag of libraries for MLton and other SML implementations (by Sean McLaughlin)
  14 ** http://tom7misc.cvs.sourceforge.net/tom7misc/sml-lib/[sml-lib], a grab bag of libraries for MLton and other SML implementations (by <:TomMurphy:>)
