Ok let me guess.Warren Wilkinson wrote:I've used a lot of languages, and I don't recall any of them having a sane standard way of dealing with binary data. If you point me towards some of them, I might be able to find useful CL libraries that work like that. Edi Weitz tends to have a useful library for everything. Actually, just looking at his libraries, he has one for binary streams with odd sized bytes (probably anything from 1 to 32 bit bytes): http://weitz.de/odd-streams/
And his stuff IS maintained.
You REALLY think that having one guys set of librarys cover what is otherwise standarised on every other language in some way...(be it standard-lib or any other standard convention) rather than "oh look we were saying roll your own!, But some1 actually did it so now its the de facto standard "
IS ACTUALLY SANE?
HAHA
I feel trolled by even considering that wasnt some sort of Poe.
