I haven't used lld_locator yet, but it the above returns a usual
[Smart] BLOB, Ruby/Informix will instantiate an Slob object.

Can you test it and tell me? ;-)

As I said before, I haven't used lld_locator. My guess is that if you
know before hand that you will use a field for storing images, make it
a BLOB.

Did that help?

Thank you, Adam.

Would you mind sending me the exact information for operating system,
architecture, Informix version and CSDK version (to add it to the
list)?

It would be also of much help if you can checkout the latest code from
CVS and run the tests that Edwin Fine has written and report me back.
