Thread Password length in DBSys

Hi Tim,

I use GUIDS (38 characters) as passwords for remote users. Normally
these passwords are supplied programmatically, but today I needed to
login through the DBsys utility, and discovered that it restricts the
password input to 31 characters. In short: I cannot login through the
DBSys utility. Any chance of changing this in a future version?

TIA,
Robert.

We'll have to do a custom password dialog since the standard Borland dialog
is the one you see now.  No big deal, however, and I'll put it on the list
for the next build.
