Re: Binary read/write WAS [storing to a file]

I've been fiddling with binary read/write in Haskell. I put together a little example demonstrating my lack of understanding. It creates a connection requestion XAtom and spits it out over a socket. My real hangup occurs when I get a String back from the Socket and would like it nicely marshalled into the ConnectSuccess type. These techniques I would assume apply to binary read/write for files as well.

IIRC, the Fudgets library reads and writes X sockets so you could look here: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/ComputingScience/Research/Functional/Fudgets/ There is also the Xlib binding which works with both GHC and Hugs and is used in HGL: http://haskell.org/graphics/ -- Alastair Reid
