Reading/Writing Binary Data in Haskell

[Hal Daume]

GHC uses its own version of the NHC library.  It's linked off of the
libraries page:

http://www.pms.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/panne/haskell_libs
/Binary.html

Moreover, I have my own version of this library which we were, for a
while, trying to synch with the NHC library so it could become standard.
This is available at:

http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/haskell/NewBinary/

and allows both bit-based and byte-based writing styles.
