Try this:

http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/struct/

"This library offers basic facilities to convert 
Lua values to and from C structs. Its main functions 
are struct.pack, which packs multiple Lua values into 
a struct-like string; and struct.unpack, which 
unpacks multiple Lua values from a given struct-like 
string."

which is the one I like, or else:

http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/#lpack

"A library for packing and unpacking binary data."


Note who wrote each of the packages :-)
