-snip about how CA95 ignores IDDU and treats the file as a flat file-

Ouch!  One idea is to create the actual DDS'd file in another library and
copy the S36EE file to the DDS version and download that.  Weak but quick to
implement.  "All" you have to change is every PC transfer definition to
point to the new library.  Can you put a trigger on the S36EE file to keep
the DDS version updated "real time?"
