[TRNSYS-users] TMY3 files in Demo Version

[Brad Painting]

David,
The file I downloaded directly from NREL (with CSV extension) produced the
same error message. I am pretty sure I did save it as tab delimited because
it was the only way I could figure out how to end in a TMY3 extension
rather than TMY3.CSV. (I am not sure if the CSV extension is a problem).
