[BLDG-SIM] eQuestv3-51_setup.exe

[Scott Criswell]

When choosing which release of eQUEST to download from the DOE2.com site 
you should rely on the information contained on the eQUEST web page 
(http://doe2.com/eQUEST/) or the version number included in the name of 
the install file.  You should put very little weight on the date listed 
for the file when viewing the eQUEST download area.  The date listed 
there generally corresponds to the date in which that file was last 
POSTED to the download area and not the date in which that installation 
was first created.  Having not posted this file to the download area 
myself I cannot say for sure why it was posted on 8/10/07, but my guess 
is that it was copied back into the download area by one of the persons 
on our development team to accommodate a user that required access to 
that particular release.
Another possible reason for an inconsistency between version numbering 
and file dates is situations where we are required to update certain 
versions in order to achieve some sort of certification - the latest 
example being when we posted a revised v3.6 to the site in March 2007 
following the posting of version 3.61 and 3.61b in October 2006.  In 
this case the CEC required certain changes to v3.6 in order to achieve 
certification to perform compliance analysis for California's Title-24 
energy code.  The changes that went into the updated v3.6 posting only 
affect users using eQUEST to perform Title-24 analysis.  You will 
generally find cases like this one explained on the eQUEST web page.
