GHC uses its own version of the NHC library. It's linked off of the libraries page: http://www.pms.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/panne/haskell_libs /Binary.html
Moreover, I have my own version of this library which we were, for a while, trying to synch with the NHC library so it could become standard. This is available at: http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/haskell/NewBinary/ and allows both bit-based and byte-based writing styles. -- Hal Daume III | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Arrest this man, he talks in maths." | www.isi.edu/~hdaume > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Maeder > Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 1:34 AM > To: The Haskell Mailing List > Subject: Re: Reading/Writing Binary Data in Haskell > > > >>There isn't a standard mechanism for binary I/O. > > > > > > NHC98 contains the York Binary library.
