Excerpts from ext.guile: 29-Jan-98 bitvector efficiency Jim Blandy@red-bean.com (342*) > To make Guile talk binary protocols, you'd really like something like > Perl's pack/unpack.

The ILU support for Guile already automatically includes support for the ONC RPC (Sun RPC, with XDR) binary protocol, the OMG CORBA `IIOP' protocol, the Web HTTP protocol, and the XNS Cou rier RPC protocol. See ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html for sources to the Guile/ILU work. Bill
