Yes you are right (I tested with openFile in TextMode) but as far as I can see openFile cannot be changed to any other mode than TextMode thus openFile does not work with binary files (.bin) whereas openFileEx can be set to BinaryMode instead of TextMode which gives me the right output. Thanks for pointing it out. Why isn't IO and IOExts put together in one library. For example functions like openFile can be rewritten to work the same way as openFileEx thus eliminating one function and making it easier for the user not to have to compile the program with lang package.

IO is Standard Haskell 98, IOExts are extensions (i.e.non-standard).
