Re: Mixing text and binary data

I would like to read/write both text and binary data on sockets and
(*stdandard-input* *standard-output*). Are there idioms in Lisp to mix
text and binary ?

http://www.cliki.net/Flexi-streams for instance. In CL parlance, such
streams are referred to as "bivalent". There are various mechanisms to
implement them, usually implementation-dependent.
