Paul,

you need to use a stream with :element-type '(unsigned-type 8) if you want to control the binary encoding.  If you need to mix binary and text, maybe FLEXI-STREAMS (http://weitz.de/flexi-streams/) is helpful.

I'm using sbcl to write-char a 16-bit unsigned integer to a socket as two separate unsigned 8-bit bytes, for example 141 should appear as

#x00 #x8d.

SBCL appears to convert the #x8d into a two-byte utf-8 char, resulting in 3 bytes written to the stream

\#x00 #xcd #x8d.

What is the proper incantation to achieve this?  (SBCL on Windows, if that matters).

thanks
