 I don't understand the following behaviour of writeFile in Hugs.  GHCi
 does what I would expect.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Comment (by ross):

 Character I/O in Hugs uses the encoding specified by the current locale.
 If chr 128 is being mapped to two bytes, your locale is probably
 specifying UTF-8.  You can set your locale (LC_CTYPE) to use ISO8859-1 if
 desired.  If you want binary output, use writeBinaryFile.

Comment (by guest):

 Cheers, Neil Mitchell pointed me to openBinaryFile just after I wrote this
 report.  Sorry to be a nuisance.
