                                WARNING

        This working version is believed to be stable, but
        we have not run our full regression-test suite.

Summary:

   Bugfixes and minor feature enhancements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Libraries:
----------

- Fixed bug regarding the copy function in *array-slice.sml modules.
- Refactored the pretty printing library.  The declarative way to
  construct pretty-printing descriptions now sits on top of the
  PP_STREAM interface.
- Removed "onNewline" function, which was not implemented.
- Added ANSITerm structure, which provides support for ANSI terminal
  display attributes (e.g., red text).
- Added ANSITermDev device that uses ANSI terminal display attributes
  and added a ANSITermPP for pretty printing to such a device.

Runtime system:
---------------

- Support for HPUX 11 added.  (There is still a problem, though.)
- Updated Cygwin's fault/signal handling.
