Subject: long binary?
Date: Oct 14 1998 10:36PM

I've got to display some fields of type 'long binary'.  I can retrieve
them but they don't print very nicely :)  I know that the contents of
these fields are text stored in a binary format.  Can anyone tell me
how to do decode them, or give me a shove in the right direction?  Can
CTLib do this or do I do it myself, and if I have to do it myself, what
perl functions/libraries do I need?

thanks very much,
Nathan Pilatzke
