[TRNSYS-users] Include a new type

[David BRADLEY]

Josef,
   One (rather minor) note first: you don't need to copy the source code 
over; once you have compiled a DLL, the source code is irrelevant.

   For the problem loading the DLL, there are any number of possible 
causes. Please have your colleague make sure that they are creating a 
"release mode" DLL (this is a setting in the compiler. If you are using 
the IVF compiler, go to the Configuration Manager and set the 
configuration of the project to "release" instead of "debug"). When you 
run the project on your computer, the *.lst and *.log files should 
contain a notice telling you whether external DLLs are being loaded from 
the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\DebugDLLs or the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs 
directory. Please verify that they are being loaded on both machines 
from the \ReleaseDLLs\ directory. If making sure that this is all 
correct still doesn't work then it would help me a lot if you could send 
me the DLL, the source code, and the proforma so that I can give it a 
try on my computer and determine the cause of the issue.
Best,
  David
