Yes, if the handle is opened in binary mode. No if not.
Thank you for the informative response.
If a file is opened in text mode, what encoding does Haskell grok on input? And what encoding does it generate on output? I'm assuming it's UTF-8 on output, but I don't know for sure.
I don't think so, it still just treats the Char as an eight bit C character, the only difference is that if it's opened as text on windows, your newlines get mangled. (...or treated properly, depending on your opinion.) -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
