(RADIATOR) new dictionary file available for testing

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Dave -

Yes you can have both versions of the Ascend attributes in the same 
dictionary file and both versions will be decoded properly. However, 
because both versions use the same names, the encoding will be done by 
the version that is defined "last". The workaround that I mention below 
is to use the new dictionary.ascend file (which includes just the old 
style Ascend attributes), and specify both files:

DictionaryFile %D/dictionary, %D/dictionary.ascend

which will cause the old style attributes to be defined a second time, 
after the vendor-specifics.

Please let me know how you go with the new files.

regards

Hugh
