I need to write some code that will read binary data from a file into various types defined in Data.Int, Data.Word, and the floating types. I am looking to make functions with signatures like Handle->IO Word16 and Handle->IO Int32 and Handle->IO Float and others similarly defined. One complication I am running into is that the data is stored in big endian byte
Hopefully you don't have some requirement to reinvent this wheel; the binary package already provides it, including support for endianness. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/binary -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
