Thanks to Russell and Pierre who replied during the last 24hours.
I feel I should perhaps clarify my requirement following these replies as the problem is not quite as simple as their solution would provide for.
 
The "polyline" I am referring to is a number of roads - each one over 100km in length with each twist and turn a single segment - i.e. the polyline is composed of hundreds of segments.  The buffers are required on either side but each side to be a different colour.  The width varies depending upon the scale of the plot.
 
I can now confirm that the MapLogix demo file available from the MapInfo FTP site DOES Work!  It allows you to split a buffer along a line drawn down the middle, and then delete (or colour differently each half - very neat in fact) However it is limited to a polygon (buffer in this case) with no more than 50 segments in the demo version.  I am going to ask tonight how many segments the full  version can handle (and of course the cost for such a package!)
 
Isn't it great when someone else has worked out the solution to your problem before you even found you had a problem!
 
Thanks again...
