ML for the Working Programmer -- Answers to the exercises

Some time ago, I promised to provide answers to all the exercises in the
book.  This was a foolish promise.  There are some 300 of exercises; many
of them are difficult or time-consuming to answer, even for the author!
But I have got half-way through.  Answers for the first 5 chapters may be
found in the compressed text file answers1-5.txt.Z, which is available by
ftp.  Source programs from the book are also available, in the compressed
tar file working.tar.Z.					-- Larry Paulson

FTP instructions:
  * Connect to host ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk
  * Use login id "anonymous" with your email address as password
  * put ftp in BINARY MODE ("binary") 
  * go to directory ml (by typing "cd ml")
  * "get" the desired files in that directory.  

Here is a sample dialog:

   ftp
   ftp> open ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk
   Name: anonymous
   Password: <email address>
   ftp> binary
   ftp> cd ml
   ftp> get answers1-5.txt.Z
   ftp> get working.tar.Z
   ftp> close
   ftp> quit

Once transferred, answers1-5.txt should be uncompressed using the uncompress
command:

   uncompress answers1-5.txt.Z

The file working.tar.Z is extracted using the command

   uncompress -c working.tar.Z | tar xf -

These answers undoubtedly contain many errors.  I welcome (and will
acknowledge) corrections.
