color:blue"> I included the following text in my .inp file, copied-and-pasted from an .inp file that eQuest generated. My intention is to edit it to reflect the conditions
of the present project, which I really really don't want to have to re-create in the wizard, since I've already composed about 3,000 lines of .inp code for complex geometry, schedules, etc. As of yet, the only thing that I've edited are the U-names referring
to the fan schedule, the heat schedule, the cool schedule, and the space - so that they match the present project. Scrolling down in this e-mail, you'll see the lovely error messages that appear when I load the .inp file into eQuest. Can anyone tell me what
is wrong and how to fix it? (Yes, I clicked on the errors, but eQuest tells me nothing helpful.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

meter code in the .inp file.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
