Michael,
Thanks for this. I'll modify my version of HDirect when I get the chance.
It does prompt a question: how does a humble user like myself find out that things
like toInt shouldn't be used and that the correct approach is to use fromIntegral?
Dominic.

`toInt' is a Glasgow Extension and is considered evil now IIRC (it
always was, but there were some efficiency reasons, which are now
resolved...)
`AddrOff' is instance of `Num', so use
`fromIntegral'
instead of `toInt'...
