Re: [Haskell-cafe] can't find in hayoo

In addition to hoogle I suggest you check out hackage too. I think you'll be particularly interested in "base64-bytestring": http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base64-bytestring Cheers, Thomas On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 9:41 AM, Roderick Ford wrote:

unless there is another/easier way????

By and large hayoo is the alta-vista of Haskell search - it has a huge database but isn't well organized or good at prioritizing. Use Hoogle when doing type-based searches for functions in the typical GHC load.

Also, what's with the non-standard module specification "GHC.Word.Word8"? You should use Data.Word.
