It's probably older than 1992 -- a quick hunt through the utzoo Usenet archive found an example GNU Emacs auto-mode-alist from 1985 with that entry (in Message-ID: <34300005@waltz>). I think it's probably safe to say there are more users of OCaml than Gosling Emacs around these days. ;-) -- Adam Sampson
