I might be missing something simple and obvious but don't see unidata supporting a-type dict entries:
:ECLTYPE P :AE DICT DICTTEST ATEST Top of "ATEST" in "DICT DICTTEST", 10 lines, 16 characters. *--: P 001: A 002: 1 003: A1 004: 005: 006: 007: 008: 009: L 010: 10 Bottom. *--: EX Quit "ATEST" in file "DICT DICTTEST" unchanged. : :LIST DICTTEST ATEST Illegal attribute name: ATEST What am I missing? How would you run unidata in case insensitive mode so that "ABC"="abc"?
