The Haskell Report says: "Binary mode I/O ensures transparency *within* an implementation". I find that this limits considerably its usage. Can't the Bin representations of Char, Int, Float and Double (and maybe more) be standardized? Ideally, I would like these datatypes to be represented on Bin streams as C does (e.g., using fwrite and fread). This would allow to easily read many kinds of files not created by Haskell. --Andre
