something like that) is created in the EXENT directory and displays errors
found while parsing the TMY2. Also, perhaps you can double-check that you have
a valid TMY2 file. For example, you could try using the EnergyPlus weather
converter to see if it can successfully convert the TMY2 to an EPW weather file,
or you could try driving a simulation program that uses TMY2 files directly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Thanks for your response. I tried your method (on both <st1:place w:st="on">Vista</st1:place>

in it (0KB) any thoughts?<br>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've seen a bunch of questions on the list-serve about creating custom weather
files, but never figured out how to do it myself.<br>
<br>
I've been able to create a custom CSV file (and then removed all commas), so I
should now have a custom TMY file. How do I get it into BIN format so
eQuest can read it? I downloaded the conversion files from DOE2 (<a
href="http://doe2.com/index_Wth.html" target="_blank">http://doe2.com/index_Wth.html</a>),
but can't get them to work so far. Does anyone have a more complete
description of how to make them work? Also, I am running <st1:place
w:st="on">Vista</st1:place>... not sure if this is a problem as the conversion
programs are DOS based.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
