Liam,

This is version 1.0 of BLOBMgr. It should go to the 4d archive.
Here is a short description of the package:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

4th Dimension(R) provides a big variety of data types: text, numeric,
date, time, pictures and even subfiles! However, it lacks a binary
variable-length data type known as BLOB (BINARY LARGE OBJECT).
BLOBs are quite common in other DBMSes and they are mostly used for
storing disk files in databases.

BLOBMgr External Kit is a set of routines that give 4th Dimension(R) the
capability of storing (and retrieving) any kind of Macintosh(R) disk
files in the form of BLOBs. Picture variables and fields are used for
storing BLOBs.
