Re: About the usage of the Compilation Manager.

CM figures dependencies automatically, as long as you use the module
system.  All you need to do is define a "sources.cm" file

	Group is
	A.sml
	B.sml

and then run the command

	CM.make "sources.cm";

in the SML read-eval-print loop.

Note, however, that you must use modules to organize your code.  CM
does not handle core-language top-level definitions (the are good
technical reasons for this limitation).

See the CM manual for more information

	http://www.smlnj.org/doc/CM/index.html

Hope this helps.
