10
11         # Look at built-in stuff:
12         $script_tag = $tttags{'SCRIPT'}{'Cypriot Syllabary'};  # returns 'cprt'
13         $lang_name = $ttnames{'LANGUAGE'}{'ALT '};             # returns 'Altai'
14
15         # Map iso639 tag to/from OT lang tag
16         @isotags = $iso639{'ALT '};    # returns [ 'atv', 'alt' ]
17         $lang_tag = $iso639{'atv'};    # returns 'ALT '
18
19         # Read latest tags file to add to built-in definitions
20         readtagsfile ("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft VOLT\\TAGS.txt");
