certain stream from yea-symbol to yea-symbol as being a blob, and handle it
with some TIB_ColumnBlob methods, but the components themselves don't
handle blobs.
If IBX has a component that's doing this in an encapsulated way, then IBO
doesn't have an equivalent. But the datapump *is* the equivalent of Don
Gollahon's "RawInput" example. The IBX I have here doesn't have such a
component, but my version is about a year old. It could be something that
shipped on the companion CD with Delphi 7 (which I don't have).
