(Normally Perl and C was used). The answer I got to the question, was, that INRIA has no 64-Bit machines and therefore the support is not included so far. During the Linux day in Berlin in 2007, I asked Sun-people (developers and others) about OCaml. They denied and tried to convince me that Java is such a good language. I did not expect that they deny modern technology ;-( If you can convince INRIA to get the 64-Bit Sun-machines or Sun to offer them at university-possible prices, the situation might change. But the information I had also is older, I think it was in the beginning of 2007, so is one year old. The platform I was working on was a Sun Fire E4900. At that time in that project they also had some changes to go from 32-Bit Solaris with 64-Bit emulation to the true 64-Bit version. But the admin told me, I already were using the 64-Bit stuff, so that then was the reason to ask here (or possibly I wrote a bugreport; do not remember) on that problem. And I got the answer I explained above: no hardware there to have the support. Ciao, Oliver
