Carolyn,
I am not able to answer your question. So, I will forward your
email to another scientist in the field who is much more familiar with the
entire tagging program. In case something happens to your message, send it
again . His address is williamson@VMSVAX.simmons.edu and his name is
Michael. Sorry I cannot answer your question. But, I know that he will
be able to help.
Good Luck, Courtney
