#87: Strange writeFile behaviour ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: hugs | Version: 200609 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by ross): Character I/O in Hugs uses the encoding specified by the current locale. If chr 128 is being mapped to two bytes, your locale is probably specifying UTF-8. You can set your locale (LC_CTYPE) to use ISO8859-1 if desired. If you want binary output, use writeBinaryFile. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/87#comment:1> Hugs <http://www.haskell.org/hugs/> Hugs 98, an interpreter for Haskell
