up an eQuest model and increase time examining and understanding the results. Users will gain a better understanding of what eQuest can and cannot do, learn helpful text edits and simple scripts, and how to review results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:aqua;mso-highlight:aqua">Attendees must be comfortable using eQuest in the detailed mode and familiar with the output and input file types. This class will not cover any eQuest wizard mode components or model setup
in depth. You must bring your own computer with eQuest 3.64 pre-loaded. The instructor will be Neil Bulger from the Oakland office of Integral Group.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
