Re: New TRNSYS Libraries Available

["Werner Keilholz" <werner@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

I realy liked this email, especial since it has the word IISiBat all
over :-)  What about sending it to mailto:BLDG-SIM@gard.com
too ?

Any news about distributing the component libraries through CSTB ?
Or maybe you want to wait for the decission about making them part
of the package first.

Cheers,

Werner
