The current version of DrOCaml does work with DrScheme 4.x. I
apologize for not posting it on PLaneT yet; I haven't gotten around to
relearning how to build a PLaneT package. I'll try to get to this
soon. In the meantime, I'd be glad to send you a .plt file if you
want.

There are quite a few things that could be done to improve DrOCaml,
especially for someone who's willing to modify the OCaml toplevel
source and/or work with EasyOCaml. That said, I don't see this as a
particularly high-priority project. DrOCaml is primarily a collection
of special cases. I think PLT would benefit much more from
infrastructure which could work across multiple languages.
