re: Random Access Files in Haskell

[Colin . Runciman]

A little while ago Damir Medak asked:

| Any experiences or hints how to implement Random Access Files
| in Haskell?

The Binary library distributed with nhc13 and nhc98 supports
random access.  It can be used to implement indexed file
structures of various kinds.

See http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/libs/Binary.html which
includes a pointer to our ISMM'98 paper `The Bits between
The Lambdas'.
