your errors. These tools are fairly common and would probably be used in the following scenario:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">1. You have actual hourly drybulb, pressure, and wetbulb data that you would like to put into a custom DOE2 weather file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">2. DOE2 weather files have records for drybulb, pressure, wetbulb, humidity ratio, air density, and enthalpy among other things. Technically, you only
need 3 of these to set the state of the air for an hour, but the program doesn't do this calculation for you, so you need to make sure that they correspond to the same state before you pack the weather file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">3. You use some pscychrometric tool to take your hourly drybulb, pressure, and wetbulb data and calculate the corresponding humidity ratio, density,
and specific enthalpy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">4. Run FMTWTH program to pack the weather file to binary form.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">I would recommend taking a look at something like Elements from BigLadder Software which does most of this for you in a spreadsheet

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? Any comments will be highly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
