[Equest-users] eQUEST 3.65 v7173 (April 2016) - fixesand improvements?

[PKConsulting via Equest-users]

Thanks Bill-Chris-&Nick for all of your responses.  I'm happy to know that my experiences have been 'normal' thus far,  and with Bill's detailed description of the new install approach I'll be up and running soon.  

It's great to have modeling gurus like you three to lean on for support!

Take care,

Pasha

I guess generally I’ve gotten over the differences, but I do sincerely miss the “page by page” view for scrolling (in Microsoft Word I think it would be coined “Print Layout” view).  In contrast, it kinda sucks how the reports all blend together in the more recent versions – can make it hard to see where short reports in succession stop/start.  On the other hand, I do appreciate the addition of the “what reports do you want to print” dialog, which in combination with a PDF printer can make for much easier selective documentation.  Maybe future versions will make the default “view” a selectable preference/option.

Thanks to Bill for documenting those instructions for multiple installs within 3.65!

I have found that when I do work on a version 3.65 (2014) file I do not like the output DOE-2 reports as much as I liked the usability of the version 3.64 output DOE-2 reports.  I'd like to hear anyone thoughts on this topic too.
