Re: ByteA for binary data?

My biggest issue with the LO's is that I can't seem to find anything on
how to list _all_ of my LO's.

If I lose the OID, I've got a LO out there with no pointer to it.

Am I missing something on that?

On the 8K limit, I'm not even seeing 8K, I'm seeing about 15 or 16 chars,
not really enough. I'm using the latest PHP, 4.1.1, which didn't work, so
I figured I'd hit 4.2.0 in the CVS tree, no joy there either.
