Hello, I have some questions regarding Guile I/O and byte order.
1. Is there an I/O function for reading a fixed set of bytes into a buffer, i.e. if I wanted to read a 56-byte string from a binary archive? 2. Is there a way to specifically read a 8/16/32/64-bit string from a file/port? 3. Is there a built-in function for converting between byte orders (i.e. BSD-style htobe32 and such) or must I implement them myself? 4. Is writing an archive manager using Guile for implementing archive formats a bad idea to start with? Thank you for your time, - LM <lu...@users.sourceforge.net> http://entertainingsoftware.com/
