 MEMO fields are always an option - but this may reduce your options to
search and retrieve data. In case you only exceed the length limits for
a few (predefined) fields, you may consider splitting up your data
between two 254 chars fields. Since IBMWorks is actually a dbase format
database, you can easily process those joint fields using a package
like dbfRexx.
