I forget if Webfacing does (pretty sure it does) but Newlook can
handle 27x132.  No DDS-based software will go beyond 132 for a
display.

Any DDS-based 'webifying' tool will still require that you change the
DDS to match the new database fields.  These products won't let you
get around changing the DDS, if that's what you're after.  The DDS has
to be right (match the HLL) before any of these tools will work
properly.
