Janeet,

  Your first two questions are things that have been fixed in the most 
recent version of TRNSYS. I am not sure when they were fixed but I think 
they have been fixed for awhile. Which version of Trnsys are you using? 
If it is an older version, you can fix them by modifying the proformas 
yourself. The errors are in the proformas and not in the code.

  As for your third question, you'll need to send that to your 
distributor. If you aren't sure who to contact, send me a direct email 
and I will point you in the correct direction.

kind regards,

  David
