Well, see the attached patch to Data.Binary to add putFloat[32|64][be|le]. I got bored, so adding the Get functions is an exercise for the reader :) (And so because I think it needs unsafeSomethingIO and I'm a little unsure about that). If these functions would be useful for you, you should bug the binary team to add something similar. AGL -- Adam Langley [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.imperialviolet.org 650-283-9641
