Your number format must (as far as I know) follow the American
"convention" of a . for a decimal point -- I know that some
formats use a , there?

As far as I know, no one has found a way around it.  It is
particularly difficult as EnergyPlus uses the , as a field
delimiter.  You would change this format under the "Regional
Settings" in the Windows Control panel.

If this is not what your problem truly is, then we need more information
to try to help.

You should be able to go to the main web page:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EnergyPlus_Support/

And look at the archive of "Messages".  There are also
some files loaded there.  In order to do this you may have to
register yourself with Yahoo and get a Yahoo ID.
