I'm sorry if if I've misled you. Tagging will work only if you are using
BUILD on a mainframe BUILD product. I take it you are using BUILD/2 if you
are using WP also. Correct?
This is what I referred to in my note about no crossover between mainframe
source files and PC source files. The source input file format for a
mainframe BUILD product is a BookMaster "tagged" file, where the source
format for the BUILD/2 product is an RTF file. As far as I know there are no
filters to go from one to the other, but I could be wrong.
