My lazy chunks have type ByteString -> Object. Only internally they use ByteString.unpack to get the list of Word8s to parse them. My parser is totally my own so I can do anything I wish. Except it is hard for me to image a parser working on something else than [Word8]. How do I do this? So how do I get rid of those (:) and W8# that are allocated everywhere on my heap? Thanks for the suggestion for -hd, really useful option! -- Gracjan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
