I think simple-streams and gray-streams can do this, if you write
enough code. I guess plain Lisp can too.
But perhaps Lynn Quam's read-vector and write-vector stuff will be
more helpful to you. They're available in the latest snapshot and
allow reading and writing of binary data to streams.
You need to set LISP::*FD-STREAM-ENABLE-CHARACTER-AND-BINARY-INPUT* to
non-NIL to get this. See the release notes.
