<DIV><SPAN class=240004419-04022003>There are at least a few of us out here
using eQUEST/DOE-2.2 on a regular basis. I started using DOE-2.1 back when
it was Cal-ERDA 1.3 (about 1979) and have followed the Hirsch upgrades through
PowerDOE and eQUEST. I have only seen a Beta version of eQUEST 3.0, but it
looks very interesting.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=240004419-04022003>My specialty is energy simulation and
I use eQUEST and the "Detailed Data Edit" Mode on almost all of our energy
simulation jobs. JJ Hirsch and Associates are looking for ways to offer
more support, but probably at a price. I can offer some support, free if
it is trivial (to me) or at my regular rates if it is more involved. Our
web site is <A

Hopefully, you will find some useful information there.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=240004419-04022003>I think the User Group is a good idea,
though you already have a discussion forum through <A
href="mailto:BLDG-SIM@gard.com">BLDG-SIM@gard.com</A>. Let me know how
much interest you get.</SPAN></DIV>

Group<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT size=2>May I ask how many people are attempting to use
eQuest/DOE-2.2? I would like to form a User Group for exchanging questions and
war stories, as the creators of the program do not apparently have funding for
very much support (Sad).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I have taken Marlin Addison's a few times, with the last
version I have (3.0) FINALLY beginning to make sense. I have used DOE-2.1
since 1984 and have some small familiarity with the intent, switches, and
boundaries of the program. Until a decent front end come along for EnergyPlus,
this is the way I am going.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>There claims to be over 7,000 downloads of the program. Anyone
getting into the "world past the Wizards" yet?</FONT> </P><BR>
