This was in IBX 5.04 in Delphi 5 Pro. And it is also in the IBX that
comes with Delphi 6. The BatchInput and BatchOutput are only on the
TIBSQL component. The RawInput type is not text. They have a second
type that is TextInput or something like that. I'm not home to look at
the project I'm using this on. Here is a little more from the IBX 5.04
help file on TIBOutputRawFile:

"Use a TIBOutputRawFile object to output data from a raw file. A raw
file is the equivalent to InterBase external file output. Raw files are
not limited to a straight character format."
