"Unix System Programming with Standard ML" ( available online at http://web.access.net.au/felixadv/smlbook.html ), has a nice writeup on tail recursion in the "loops and recursion" section. The book also has the desirable property that (at least in this section) it compares and contrasts functional style with imperative style, including representing the same problem in both C and SML. I've only read the section on tail recursion, so I can't comment on the rest of the book, but it looks very promising so far. --Sergey __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
