Has anyone found any good sources of custom tags that run on
linux? I need a tag that will create zip files, and one that
will give me the width and height of an image.

When I search for these tags on the allaire developer gallery,
I find a few that do zip + image stuff, but they make no mention
of what OS it runs on. I downloaded one and it was a DLL, so
I don't think that will work on linux.

It seems to me that Allaire/CF is pretty tied to Winblows
when all the tags on their site are so *assumed* to be for
Windows that they don't even list what OS its for.

So I started reading about CFX, what little is in the CF books
I have here, and it says they are written in C++, Delphi or
Java.

So how easy is it (is it even possible) to write a CFX tag
on linux? Can it be written in C? Perl?

I could probably write a simple custom tag in CF to make
a call to a shell script or something that then calls
zip and does the stuff I need. That seems like it might
be bit slow.

Thanks for any info.

Ryan
