Delphi 2.0 CS Update & BLOB Problem

I just got my "update" (and I use the term loosely) to Delphi 2.0 C/S.
We use SQL-Anywhere in-house and have been using BLOB fields just fine
until installing the upgrade.

Since re-installing with the new CD, Delphi refuses to admit that the
BLOB fields exist, and I suddenly can't open other tables that don't
even have BLOBs in them.

Perusing the VCL source, I can see that there are numerous "stealth"
bug fixes, which I'd like to use, but if I can't fix this I'll have
to un-upgrade. Grrr...

I just talked to Borland about this - several other people have reported
the same problem, and there is as yet no solution.
