* unif.c (scm_raprin1): Changed print syntax for byte vectors from

Browse source 
#bytes(...) to #y(...), and syntax for short vectors from
#short(...) to #h(...).  This may seem nutty, but, like the other
uniform vectors, byte vectors and short vectors want to have the
same print and read syntax (and, more basic, want to have read
syntax!).  Changing the read syntax to use multiple characters
after the hash sign breaks with the conventions used in R5RS and
the conventions used for the other uniform vectors.  It also
introduces complexity in the current reader, both on the C and
Scheme levels.  (The Right solution is probably to change the
syntax and prototypes for uniform vectors entirely.)

Don't use local_fgets on sockets; ftell doesn't work on sockets.
