The MAC version of ORACLE won't return LONG fields to SQL*Lab or,
indeed, toany of the Hypercard based tools because of the
restrictions on HC field sizes.  I'd like to use these fields for
page-sized "chunks" of text data, which are smaller than 32k, I.e.,
would fit in HC, but too big for anything except a "LONG"...  I
would be grateful for ideas for a workaround.  Thanks for your help
in advance!
