[TRNSYS-users] how to make Trnsys read...

Pietro and Michele,

I suggest that you start from scratch (not the Type modifications, just
the compile/link process) and open the workspace that is included in
TRNSYS 15:
\Trnsys15\WorkSpace\CVF66B\CVF66B.dsw

That workspace has 3 projects, ExtDll, DummyLib and TRNLib. Make sure 
TRNLib is the active project ("TRNLib files" should be in bold) and go 
to build/rebuild. This will replace your TRNlib.DLL and will include 
your changes to Type 36 if you edited the Type in its default location. 
You cna check that by opening the Type from the lst of files in TRNLib 
files\Source files\Types.

Kind regards,

Michaël Kummert
