Hi
I have been trying to learn haskell (tip over the vending machine) for
a while and eventually decided the Haskore music library might be a
good way to start understating the language.
I am using windows and hugs98. The IOExtensions.hs file will not work
under windows. Any ideas on how to make it work or is this library
*nix only?
Regards
David

-- Replacement for IOExtensions.hs of hugs for ghc

-- Implements only the functions necessary for Haskore!

-- Does not work under Windows (where there is a difference between

-- Suitable for use with Hugs 98

module IOExtensions(
writeBinaryFile,
openBinaryFile, readBinaryFile
) where
import System( getArgs )
import IO( Handle, IOMode(WriteMode), openFile, hPutStr, hClose )
import IOExts
openBinaryFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO Handle
openBinaryFile path mode = openFileEx path (BinaryMode mode)
writeBinaryFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()
writeBinaryFile = writeFile -- this does not work
on Windows!!!
readBinaryFile :: FilePath -> IO String
readBinaryFile = readFile -- this does not work
on Windows!!!
