! To install SML/NJ under MacOS X on a machine that has the developer
! tools installed (i.e., which has a working C compiler), refer to
! our generic instructions in file INSTALL.
  
! For people without developer tools on their MacOS X box we prepared
! a disk image that contains a pre-compiled runtime system.  To install,
! download the image, mount it, and copy its contents (a directory named
! smlnj-xxx.xxx) to some location of your choice.  (The name smlnj-xxx.xxx
! is not important -- you can change it or simply copy the contents of
! this directory into some other directory.)
  
! At this point you should have some directory, e.g., /Users/joe/smlnj,
! that contains two subdirectories named "config" and "bin".  Open a
! terminal (or xterm if you have X11), cd to /Users/joe/smlnj
! and follow the instructions in file INSTALL beginning *after* the
! point where it asks you to gunzip and untar config.tgz.
  
! For example, if you are in a hurry and have good network connectivity,
! simply edit config/targets and then run config/install.sh.
  
! Once the installer finishes, you only need to keep the "bin" and "lib"
! subdirectories.  You can move them wherever you like (together!) as
! long as you set the variable SMLNJ_HOME to the name of the directory
! that holds them.

  --------------------------------------------------
  
! We now provide a disk image containing an installer package
! for SML/NJ.  The package contains a full installation
! including nearly all optional components.  (We only
! exclude "mlrisc-tools" and "nowhere".)  In the near
! future we plan to provide a meta-package which lets
! users select the components to be installed.
  
! The current installer lets the user choose an installation
! root directory.  The default is /usr/local/smlnj.
! The SML/NJ-specific "bin" directory containing the
! "sml" command and its siblings is not automatically
! added to the shell's search path, though.
  
! When using the installer package (even in the case
! when the installation directory is not the default
! /usr/local/smlnj) it is NOT necessary to set any
! global environment variables such as SMLNJ_HOME.
  
! ----
  
! When developer tools are present on a MacOS X machine,
! then it is also always possible to do a generic install
! (see file INSTALL).
