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></DIV>

never seen this one before. I don't think we would allow the description if
it's a NODICT subfile but the dictionary certainly has a DESCRIPTION option
