This is a work-around I use, it is specific to the high impact
commercial printing industry, it may give you or somebody else a
direction to pursue.
My front end is on a MAC, the db engine is Informix On-line 5.0. Blobs
of images can be called up, screen captures are done. The screen
captures are converted using a script in Photoshop. I then take the
tiff, gif(whatever is compatable) files and import them into any db the
customer is using.
Yours,
