Use the SQLFILE parameter. Basically, the old SHOW=Y would show you the DDL in the dump file. The SQLFILE does the same thing, but the resulting output file is much more readable....sounds like improvement to me! ;)
Also, I make it a habit to include my export log whenever I give someone a dump file. That way, they can look at the log to see most of the contents of the dump file.
