[Bldg-sim] e Quest software crashing

[Edwin Guerra]

In my limited experience with eQuest, I have only experienced crashes when
collaborating with others and there is a version mismatch. Open the inp
with a text editor and verify the version  and build and make sure that is
what you have installed.
Cheers,
