You could always create a portable subfile.  One would think that it could be
readable between most if not all versions of PowerHouse.  One word of warning,
though.  I did have some problems with the format of floating point datatypes
in the portable subfiles that were resolved by converting the fields to a
string (decimal point assumed) before writing them.

Hope this helps!  Good luck!
