Perhaps %B? > > Chris You will be glad to know that the working sources for Scanf and Printf treat %b as binary notation for integers and %B as a boolean Caml token (symetrically to %C and %S). An experimental binary printing implementation is also included in Printf. It has to be reworked and generalized (or drastically simplified) but is functionning.
