SMLNJ instructions

We will be using the SMLNJ compiler of SML. All the machines in
the B215 lab have sml installed which you can run by typing sml
on your shell prompt. When sml is running you can either type
directly into the system or by typing
use "myfile.sml";
you can import your sml code written with any text editor to the interactive
compiler.

B215 hosts are:
I-acorn I-bath I-brackman I-breakwater
I-brethour I-chads  I-charles I-coal   
I-curlew I-dayman I-deadman
I-domville I-fernie I-forrest
I-georgeson I-goat I-gooch
I-goudge I-hall I-jackscrew
I-james I-ker I-knapp
I-kuper I-mandarte I-morseby
I-mudge I-norway I-parker
I-piers I-portland I-prevost
I-pylades I-pym I-reid
I-round I-russell I-ruxton

You can use ssh to access these machines remotely.
For example:
ssh -lgtzan I-round.csc.uvic.ca
