But I need String -> String! (Reading from a file, decompressing, and feeding it to the XML parser.) How can I do this?
The "reading from a file" part is arguably a misdesign in the standard libraries. There ought to be Word8-based file IO functions for reading/writing the bytes of a file. I'm not sure, but I think the Char-based functions may even do newline conversion.
I found out that fromIntegral does the conversion from Word8 to Char but I do not know how to convert from Char to Word8.
I think fromIntegral will work for that too. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
