>This API is deprecated.  You might be able to use Data.ByteString
 or Data.ByteString.Char8 from the bytestring package, provided you
 don't need full Unicode support.
 The long term aim is to provide a Unicode layer on Data.ByteString,
 and then to provide a replacement for this <A HREF="Data-PackedString.html"
>Data.PackedString</A
> API based on
 that.
