Of course, I can check for the machine's endianess, then decide whether to use putWord16be and putWord16le. But I assume that it is more efficient, if there would be some function putWord16native, which writes out in the machine's native endianess. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
