7.4 Image files

Under the images subfolder of your installation folder, you can find the following image files:

basis.img: The Standard ML Basis library.
batch.img: The MLWorks batch compiler. This is the image loaded into main-window.exe by the mlbatch.bat script.
foreign.img: The MLWorks foreign interface library.
gui.img: The interactive MLWorks image with the GUI interface. This is the image loaded into main-windows.exe by the mlworks shortcut.
guib.img: As gui.img, but with a copy of the Standard ML Basis library preloaded. This is the image loaded into main-windows.exe by the mlworks-basis shortcut.
pervasive.img: The MLWorks pervasive library. This is the image loaded into main.exe by the mlpervasive.bat shortcut.
windows.img: The MLWorks Windows interface library.

Note: mlworks, mlworks-basis, mlbatch.bat, and mlpervasive.bat were designed specifically for using batch.img, gui.img and pervasive.img, and you should use the scripts rather than invoke them directly with main-windows.exe or main.exe. This is particularly important in the case of gui.img and guib.img, where the corresponding shortcuts mlworks and mlworks-basis set up a number of environment variables derived from the installation process, and pass particular parameters to the images. Without these extra details MLWorks would run into difficulty.
