Haskell doesn't specify an encoding. GHC and Hugs both assume ISO-8859-1. The only difference between binary and text modes is that text mode converts between the platform's EOL conventions (i.e. LF on Unix, CRLF on Windows) and LF. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
