in the ghc-6.4 release the posix module is deprecated.
I assume you're referring to popen not being available. I hope that all of System.Posix isn't being deprecated. As far as your problem, Simon answered it well. I would suggest doing explicit I/O on pipes. Also, I have a suggest for Posix.IO. It would be nice to have something equivalent to hGetBuf and hPutBuf for Posix FDs. I can make handles and use h{Get|Put}Buf, but there is extra overhead, or I can just implement fdGetBuf and fdPutBuf. The idea is to do efficient, unbuffered I/O. Dave
