So we have portable binary I/O, don't we?
By the way, does one still read characters rather than bytes even

There isn't a standard mechanism for binary I/O.
NHC98 contains the York Binary library. Can someone tell me if this is
available for other Haskell systems? And didn't GHC also provide binary I/O?
How does the GHC itself read/write binary data, since the interface
