 Yes. Andrew Kennedy and I have an SML compiler which
 targets the .NET common language runtime. We demoed it
 at the PDC in Florida in July (along with a whole bunch of
 other "academic" languages), but it's not yet publicly
 available. Apart from a couple of paragraphs on
 http://research.microsoft.com/ppt/ there isn't any
 information on the web yet either. The latter will be fixed
 real soon now and we're planning to make a (possibly rather
 unpolished...) release of the compiler available to the
 intrepid sometime round about the end of the year.
