Is there a way to convert a Haskell String into a UTF-16 encoded byte stream without writing to a file and then reading the file back in?

Sure: all conversions are available as memory to memory conversions for direct use. My conversion type is parametrized by input and output character types, so you can even define UTF-16 as giving [Word16]. But [Word8] must be used for handles, so I think that in practice conversions are generally between [Char] and [Word8]. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
