<TITLE>eQuest/DOE-2.2 User's Group</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<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>
