This might be useful, refer to the following site:<BR>
<A HREF="http://irc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/ie/lighting/daylight/daysim_e.html">http://irc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/ie/lighting/daylight/daysim_e.html</A><BR>
<BR>
On the right under the Column click on the 'Getting Started' PDF link.<BR>
<BR>
Navigate to page 26 (headed Radiance), steps 27-37 provide a walk through of how Ecotect exports to Radiance and the built in Radiance viewer that comes with Ecotct to create false-color images.<BR>
<BR>
Step 37 'Info' box describes the RGBE error and suggests a possible way to fix it.<BR>

Step 30a shows the procedure to set-up Ecotect to export to Radiance and how to point to correct directory.<BR>
