<p>Sam,</p>
<p>As David mentioned, documentation in those days was provided to users in hard copy format. We are talking about a version that is almost 20 years old. The electronic files - and there were hundreds - were located at the University of Wisconsin and were originally written on a word processor program that I don't think exists anymore. When they were archived years later, they were put on a tape drive that I'm pretty sure is impossible to recover at this time.</p>
<p>But all isn't lost. You'll just need to do some detective work to convert it to the latest version. Many of the components haven't changed much and you should be able to tell from the connections, and the current inputs/outputs, what many of the inputs and outputs are in that version. If you get stuck, we might be able to dig up the source code of version 15 which would allow you to find the expected parameters/inputs/outputs. We also have a hard copy of the Version 15 documentation if all else fails.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jeff</p>

<div style="margin: 0;"> </div>
<div style="margin: 0;"> Does anyone have Documentation files for TRNSYS 15. I got some deck files from TRNSYS 15 and I need to update them into TRNSYS 17 version manually. So it's much help if you could provide me with the TRNSYS 15 documentation help files.</div>
