I followed the instructions until I hit on a wall once I tried to pack a new weather file through the PKAFT.bat. Once I ran the PKAFT.bat, I got an error, and the new BIN file appeared empty. My first idea is that the lack of the "Custom_eQuest_Weather_data.xls" file is bringing me this problem. The columns in the second FT file have lots of space between them, and do not look like the original FT file. Can I get a copy of this file from DOE2.com or any other source?
