I am trying to convert a string to a float.  It seems that Data.ByteString
library only supports readInt.    After some googling I came accross a
possibloe implementation: http://sequence.svcs.cs.pdx.edu/node/373

My questions are:

a) is there a standard library implementation of string -> Double and float?
b) Why is it that the ByteString only supports readInt? Is there a reason
for it?


Thanks,

Daryoush Mehrtash
