   No, the largest ALPHA field size in Paradox is 255 bytes.  But you have   
   a good idea.  There are many ways to attack your problem.  Here's one.   
     If there are no CR/LF pairs throughout the file and the length of each   
   "record" is a fixed number of bytes, then you could write ObjectPAL code   
   using TextStream to to read x number of bytes and then write x number of   
   bytes plus the CR/LF characters to an output file, looping until you are   
   finished.  Perhaps there is some software out there that will parse a   
   long record into many short ones.
