Using the standard TurboImage intrinsics to access Omnidex-ed data via TPI
works fine.

But if you don't *need* to do this, you don't gain anything by enabling TPI.

The only trouble we've had (and STILL have) with TPI is being unable to
re-attach an important production database to Image/SQL after we upgraded our
Omnidex version.  It appears to be an HP problem, yet the SR *STILL* hasn't
even been classified by the lab.  But this is a RANT for another posting when
I have the time to gather dates and HPRC call IDs......
