(RADIATOR) Dictionary changes

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Claudio -

I agree with you - and as mentioned in my follow-up, the Radiator  
code uses both "Alive" and "Interim-Accouning" even though only  
"Alive" is in the dictionary.

The proposed addition leaves "Alive" as the preferred alternative as  
it is defined after "Interim-Accounting" in the dictionary file.

regards

Hugh
