Edwin
Let me ellaborate a little more about these two weird parameters
*isotag1*=<number> we use by convention 3000, but you could use 1000,
or 9000, or any free base number
means that a few meaningful bytes in the leader will be transfered as
conventional isis fields
ex. Leader byte 05 will be v3005
Leader byte 18 will be v3018
*outisotag1*=<number> we use by convention 3000
means that you have in your records a set of field begining with this
base number that will be placed into the leader
ex. field v3005 will be exported as Ldr/05
field v3018 will be exported as Ldr/18
