(Otherwise... wasn't there some library somewhere for serialising values in binary?)
Binary, AltBinary (see latest HCAR), just an example using AltBinary:
main = do let s = encode (1.1::Float) -- s has type String print (decode s::Float, s)
Data.Binary is on hackage, http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/binary-0.3 encode :: (Binary a) => a -> ByteString decode :: (Binary a) => ByteString -> a > let s = encode (1.1 :: Float) > :t s s :: Data.ByteString.Lazy.ByteString > s LPS ["\NUL\NUL\140\204\205\255\255\255\255\255\255\255\233"] > decode s :: Float 1.1 See also the older NewBinary, http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/NewBinary-0.1 -- Don
