I'm looking to write at utility which would write data records out to 
a fixed sized structure ("database" records for an MP3 player). I was 
just wondering if you can use something like Ruby (where types don't 
seemed to have a clearly defined size), when I need to serialise 
exact sizes of items and byte order is import. Would your binding 
help in this regard? (I'm a newbie - and this looked like a Ruby 
utility I could get my teeth into.)
If not - any other suggestions?
TIA
