<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Rick – My understanding is that the FUNCTION
capabilities are fully implemented in DOE-2.2/eQUEST. Create your building
using eQUEST, save & close then add in the functions. Do this with a text
editor and work directly with the *.inp file in the project directory. When you
open the file again, the functions keywords are ignored by the eQUEST
interface, but the commands are executed by DOE-2.2. Remember that eQUEST is a GUI
for DOE-2, the engine hasn’t changed. Tracking down errors is just the
same as 2.1e, look in the *.sim and output.out files for help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

capabilities are going to be implemented in eQUEST (DOE 2.2)? I have a few I
have developed in the past for DOE 2.1E and am needing to do something similar
for a current modeling effort, but am required to use eQUEST as my modeling
software. It struck me as weird that all the syntax instruction is in the DOE
2.2 documentation (probably carried over from previous versions) but then noted
as not available. Any feedback would be appreciated.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
