Sure. The use of strings for binary data is indeed something that should be reduced. There is also a lot of copying involved. But one has to be careful not to re-implement memory management completely: Use srfi-4 bytevectors where appropriate and blobs where the data is truly opaque (but I guess this is self-evident). cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
