[Bldg-sim] running 32-bit program on 64-bit computer

[Joe Huang]

Varkie,

I'm surprised that you're having trouble running 2.1E and the DOE-2 
weather processor using Windows 7.  I switched to a PC running 64-bit 
Windows 7, and haven't had any difficulties running any of the DOE-2 
programs, although I have encountered difficulties with some old Unix 
utilities and the Microsoft Developer Studio GUI for Fortran (although 
the Fortran compiler itself runs fine).  From the program
names you list, you're probably running a different compilation of 2.1E 
than mine, which was done using Compaq Visual Fortran (ex-Digital 
Fortran, etc.).
