Fw: [PHP4]Lack of wide db table support

This is entirely my fault as I (naively perhaps) thought that 256 fields was plenty when I wrote that part of the Informix driver. You are the second person to complain about this, and in an identical situation. If you *really* need this fixed very badly let me know. The change is trivial but will take time to test. Danny ---
