    <p>Jordi,</p>
    <p>  Yes, Type9 does require that all the data entries be equally
      spaced in time.</p>
    <p>  You can set up Type9 so that its data is not assumed to start
      at the beginning of the year but at a particular time. Have a look
      at the various modes of Type9. They are explained a little bit if
      you click the "more" button by the "mode" parameter. There is some
      additional explanation in the Type9 section of the
      04-MathematicalReference manual and I think there may also be some
      explanatory examples in there.</p>
    <p>  I suppose the best way to prevent Type9 from rereading the data
      file once it gets to the end would be to put a lot of extra values
      (perhaps zero values) at the end of the real data. I'd be a little
      careful of this and I am not clear what you would want Type9 to
      output if the simulation continues on past the end of the data
      file.</p>
    <p>kind regards</p>
