Paul,
I encountered this problem when I used a CF hosting service with these tags
disabled. For me the solution was simple. Since most CF hosts will be using
Windows NT, you can most certainly expect them to support ASP. All you'll
have to do is to write an ASP template using FileSystemObject object to
open a file, and then use CFHTTP to access that ASP template and to return
the file as cfhttp.content, which you can then manipulate as a string.
I have a partially written custom tag for this, and I can send this to you.
THat is, if I can find it...
Hope this helps.
