From: "Tom Ridge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Alice ML provides a simplified version of the Sockets interface
defined in the SML basis. Is there a way to access the
(non-simplified) Sockets interface as defined in the SML basis?

Actually, the Socket interface in the Alice library is rather unrelated to the one from the SML Basis - we did it before the Basis got socket support. So the implementation is direct, and there currently is no implementation of the more elaborate Basis interface.

What functionality from the Basis interface do you need?

As an aside, let me note that sockets are very low-level. Unless you want to interface with other languages or pre-existing protocols, I would recommend using the high-level distributed programming features of Alice ML (http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/alice/manual/library/remote.html).
