 Ah, I thought I might have to resort to one of the ByteStrings modules.
 I've heard of them but was more or less avoiding them due to some
 complexities with installing extra libraries in my current dev
 environment.  I'll try to work that out with the sysadmins and try it
 out.

Maybe it is easier to just get ghc-6.6.1 - it contains Data.ByteString  Co
in base library.

Also, for cabal-ized libs (which is quickly becoming the rule), you can
install with --user flag and give it a directory where you have write
permission.

On a different note: I've been wondering how difficult it would be to
re-write Parsec so that it doesn't act on a /list/ of tokens but on a
Sequence (defined in Data.Collections from collections package). Because
this would mean one could use String as well as ByteString.

Cheers

That's (Summer of Code) work in progress:
