Thanks to Rich Trapp and all for quick response. I'll probably write
to Image API with provision for TPI's like Omnidex and Superdex. I would
have liked to just recommend our customers use our builtin Allbase
interface but:

  1. Some customers don't have and may not wish to acquire Allbase.
  2. Some customers use special Image datatypes which, I believe, Allbase
     does not adequately support.

   Thanks again, - Jim Keohane
