10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>Technically speaking, a NODICT subfile is
NOT a self-describing file. It is typically used to interface to some other
software, not PowerHouse. If we start using special records, then the other
software must take that into account. This would be a break from tradition with
PowerHouse. I'm not saying that it would not be useful, I'm just saying that
it's not something we've ever done. Besides, if you want the description or any
other dictionary type information, you can create a regular subfile and ignore the
dictionary portion as required. Just my opinion.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

before. I don't think we would allow the description if it's a NODICT subfile
