MEMO and BLOB Fields

[Bob Stockler]

Way back in 2002 a filePro user asked me to enhance his programs
by allowing him to attach MEMO fields to his records.

I wrote a demo filePro program named "blob" to illustrate to him
how this might be done to serve his purposes.

Unfortunately, he suffered a massive brain stroke before he could
see my work, so I wrote an article describing it for others, but
that, alas, never got published.

Thinking that others, who have not implemented the use of MEMO and
BLOB fields, might be interested in experimenting with doing so, I
have uploaded my article and the associated filePro file to JPR's
ftp site (ftp.jpr.com).  It's in the filePro directory there (look
in "filePro" for "blob.tgz" and "INSTALL.blob").

The article and filePro file assume it is used on SCO UNIX, with
users on that system and/or on networked Windows clients, but
others on other OS's may find it of interest.

Please email me privately re any comments pro/con about what I
have published on JPR's ftp site.

Bob
