Saving BLOBs as OS Files

Hi All!
Any help with this one would be appreciated. What we are trying to do is develop a utility (using C++/OCI or Oracle Forms) that will allow us to post a file to a database table (no real problem there), and then make it accessible to be downloaded as an OS file. Most everything we've found has talked about retrieving and displaying large objects, but there is very little on saving them as OS files. Using BFILE references instead of BLOBs would be our last resort (we have other application specific issues if we do that). Has anyone gotten this to work for them? Oh yeah, to make this more fun, we plan on doing this on both Mac and Win98 machines.

Thanks Again,
Dylan
