Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: IDFVersion U pdate from 7.2 to 8.0

I can't imagine either -- particularly if you've never had problems 
before.

One thing you could do is run the program from the command line.

Open a terminal window and put:

Transition-V7-2-0-to-V8-0-0 <filename>

(I don't know if you have to include a .exe or if there is one -- I'm 
not familiar with the exact configuration of running on a Mac).

it would be better to copy the file into the folder first.

that will produce (I think)

<filename>.idf (this will be the new version, converted
<filename>.idfnew (same as above)
<filename>.idfold (the original file)

Sorry for your inconvenience.

the other thing might be that it (the Report Variables file) is not in 
unix format, but still in DOS from Windows.
