OK, so today I tried to write my first program using the Binary library. And I've hit a snag: It appears the library will only handle data that is byte-aligned. So if I try to write three Bool values, it uses three bytes, not three bits. Before I sit down and spend 3 months designing my own library from scratch, does anybody know of an existing library that allows you to do what Binary does, but with single-bit precision? [I presume Binary is byte-aligned for efficiency...] http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/binary-strict
