I think you must:-

:pdl
set dict <old qschemac name here>
generate all
quit

then you get a file called qshogen, which is PDL, and you can simply
edit this to put a :-

create dictionary <dictname> not preloaded

into the beginning, and a:-

load

at the end, then invoke pdl again and say use qshogen.

Be aware that the default size for qshogen is the dreaded 16384, so you
may want a file equation if you get a file full warning (or several
hundred file full warnings).

Good luck

Neil Harvey
