<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You have no idea the pleasure your post
brings to an old hacker like me, since that's how I still use
DOE-2, including even DOE-2.2, i.e., by command line batch
scripts. My recommendation to you is to be familiar with MS-DOS
commands and then walk through the run22.bat script to see what it
does step-by-step. Keep in mind that all the "smarts" are in this
batch file (run22.bat) that tells the computer to do this, and
then do that.<br>
<br>
Setting up a DOE-2 run is really very straightforward (at least to
me). The program needs an input file called INPUT.TMP, a weather
file called WEATHR.TMP, and several utility or library files
(BDLLIB.TMP - library file, BDLKEY.TMP - keyword file, HDRFIL.TMP
- hourly report file data, etc.). Note that these files are all
temporary (*.TMP), so the common procedure is to copy them from
their permanent file names, e.g., *.inp,*.bin, *.dat, etc. <br>
<br>
DOE-2 then runs doebdl, which is an input processor program, and
then runs doesim, which is the actual simulation program. Both
produces output files, called OUTPUT (natch), that are typically
concatenated and then renamed as [input file name].out, or in the
case of DOE-2.2, they're kept separate as *.bdl and *.sim. Once
the simulation has been completed, the temporary files are
typically deleted. <br>
<br>
If you're looking at the run22.bat supplied with eQUEST, you'll
notice that it contains some "bells and whistles" , like creating
a subdirectory with the input file name, change to it, and then
doing the simulations there. Such embellishments are not
necessary, and I like to keep my scripts simple and direct so I
don't have to debug them, but to each his/her own.<br>
<br>
From the looks of the screen dump you've provided, the script is
having trouble finding the needed utility and library files. One
surefire way to fix that is to give the full path, rather than the
relative path, for the permanent copies of these files.<br>
<br>
Good luck and I hope you can get <i>it to work.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have an equest file that I would like to
