Rob, The complication is that the pretty print datatype is essentially shared between the compiler and the compiled code. If the compiler has been compiled with a different length of int from the user code there's the potential for confusion. The compiler builds default print functions for types and I was trying to ensure that both sides had the same understanding.
It may be that it isn't a problem. I'll think about this some more.
The "datatype" definition in PRETTYSIG.sml is commented out. The "constructors" actually use FixedInt.int.

David,
After using the patch in my last post to enable me to build poly, ProofPower now builds and behaves as I would expect it to when compiled without ?enable-intinf-as-int. When I compile with ?enable-intinf-as-int I get a problem because the type of PolyML.PrettyBlock has a FixedInt in it where it had just in in version 5.6.
PolyML.PrettyBlock;
val it = fn: FixedInt.int * bool * PolyML.context list * PolyML.pretty list -> PolyML.pretty
Is that intended? I can?t understand why it has happening because the datatype declaration in PRETTYSIG.sml uses int. If this is intended then I can work round it, but it would be nice not to have to.
Regards,
Rob.
