There's a Binary module that comes with GHC that you can get somewhere (I believe Simon M wrote it). I have hacked it up a bit and added support for bit-based writing, to bring it more in line with the NHC module. Mine, with various information, etc., is available at: http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/haskell/NewBinary/ On Sat, 11 Sep 2004, Ron de Bruijn wrote:
Hi,
I would like to write and read binary files in Haskell. I saw the System.IO module, but you need a (Ptr a) value for using that, and I don't need positions. I only want to read a complete binary file and write another binary file.
In 2001 somebody else came up with the same subject, but then there wasn't a real solution. Now, 3 years later, I can imagine there's *something*.
What's that *something*?
Regards, Ron
