These options can be used to allow recorder lines to be setup using tags if the system is not setup as a tag based system (i.e the tags can be used, but the mimic viewer can not be run)
Tag Options allows the Recorder to use tags if a non Tag system is being
used.
Click "Recorder Lines = Tag Data Base" to make Recorder Lines attach
to Tags.
If this mode is selected, instead of displaying a station map on Configure Pages
