Hello Bulat,

"it's better one time to see, than 100 times to hear", so i attached my
current Win32Files.hs to this letter. it's close to the FD library i
propose, only open/seek functions need to be rewritten. of course, i
will adapt this code to programming style used in the hierrachical
libraries

by implementing all the things i wrote in previous letter we will get
i/o library, defined as stack of APIs:

1) c_* functions
2) FD API (and other Streams - memory buffer, String, socket, pipe,
channel, mvar and so on)
3) Stream buffering API (Handle)
4) Char encoding for Handles API
