Christophe,
   My understanding of the way that windows are specified in TRNBuild is 
not great but I believe that Type56 takes only the center of glass values 
from the w4-lib.dat file. The frame and spacer information in that file is 
ignored by Type56, which takes the information from what you entered in 
TRNBuild. There is an option that you can select in TRNBuild to take frame 
and spacer information from the w4-lib.dat file but the normal method is to 
specify frame and spacer information in TRNBuild as you have done.
Kind regards,
  David
