The Release Notes, found in files releaseNotes.{txt,ps}, contain

indirectly, distribution by tape may be possible as a last resort.

README file and the following compressed tar files:

93.releaseNotes.ps   	Postscript version of Release Notes

93.src.tar.Z      	source code for the compiler
93.doc.tar.Z      	documentation directory (manpages, papers, help, ...)
93.tools.tar.Z    	tools directory (mlyacc, twig, sourcegroups, ...)
93.contrib.tar.Z	contributed, unsupported software

93.mo.sparc.tar.Z 	object files for the SPARC (Sun-4)
93.mo.mipsl.tar.Z 	object files for the little-endian MIPS (DECstation)

You need only transfer the 93.mo.*.tar.Z files that you need for your
machines (e.g. 93.mo.m68.tar.Z for Sun 3, NeXT, etc., 93.mo.sparc.tar.Z
for SPARCstations).  

***************************************************************************
NOTE: Ftp should be put into binary mode before transferring the compressed
tar files.
***************************************************************************

Here is a sample dialog:

   ftp
   ftp> open ftp.research.bell-labs.com
   Name: anonymous
   Password: <your name@host>
   ftp> binary
   ftp> cd pub/ml
   ftp> get README
   ftp> get 93.src.tar.Z
   ftp> get smlnj-lib.0.1.tar.Z
   ftp> get 93.tools.tar.Z
   ftp> get 93.doc.tar.Z
   ftp> get 93.mo.m68.tar.Z
   ftp> get 93.mo.rs6000.tar.Z
   ftp> close
   ftp> quit

After the files are transferred they should be uncompressed 
and then extracted using tar into a directory called (e.g.) mldist.
For example:

   mkdir mldist
   mv 93.src.tar.Z mldist
   cd mldist
   zcat 93.src.tar.Z | tar xof -

will install the src directory.
