Well, you say that there are no record delimiters, so you can't use
something like READLINE() to read a line at a time.  You could use
READ() to get a certain-sized chunk at a time, but then you still
have to break it into "logical" chunks after that.  My suggestion
simplifies it one step by making sure that you don't get more than
one tag at a time.
