If you dont want to wait for libraries in development, the easiest way to do real binary IO is via hGetArray and hPutArray which let you get and put raw arrays of bytes (Word8). unfortunatly, there is no way to do binary IO in pure Haskell 98.
http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/docs/latest/html/base/Data.Array.IO.html there is some work on a standard Binary library in progress as well.
