I don't want to look impatient, but has anyone got any thoughts on my
problem? My favoured solution would be for IBObjects to be altered to
export large text fields properly, so if you read this Jason, could
you comment on whether this is likely to be implemented or not so I
know whether to wait for an update or try and hunt down an alternative

Thanks!
