Neat - a tagged based welcome message!  Sort of sounds like the SIGIMAGE
"Enchilada" proposal for certain datatypes and other things which are not
currently handled in TurboIMAGE, to be handled via tags.

There are a lot of uses for tags -- most notably, and one we use very
frequently, is Cold Fusion to access HP3000 data.  Using Cold Fusion tags,
instead of jumping through hoops and getting our ASPs kicked by writing all
of that VBScript or JavaScript, we can usually develop in record time.

The use of tags will probably make it more and more into the mainstream
within the next several years - it's good to see early adoption and testing
of their use.  Good Luck!

Cheers,
Joe
