But it's vastly harder to do that for floats / non-integers. Now I know that the number classes in the Prelude are basically broken anyway and all really need rewriting, but it does seem completely arbitrary that Words somehow are only allowed to contain whole numbers!
Well, see the attached patch to Data.Binary to add putFloat[32|64][be|le]. I got bored, so adding the Get functions is an exercise for the reader :) (And so because I think it needs unsafeSomethingIO and I'm a little unsure about that). If these functions would be useful for you, you should bug the binary team to add something similar. AGL -- Adam Langley agl@imperialviolet.org http://www.imperialviolet.org 650-283-9641
