42   .I Gendaymtx
43   takes a weather tape as input and produces a matrix of sky patch
44   values using the Perez all-weather model.
45 < The weather tape is assumed to be in the simple ASCII format understood
45 > The weather tape may be in the simple ASCII format understood
46   by DAYSIM, which contains a short header with the site parameters followed
47   by the month, day, standard time, direct normal and diffuse horizontal
48   irradiance values, one time step per line.
49 + Alternatively, a standard EPW (Energy Plus Weather) input may be provided,
50 + in which case additional information such as the dew point temperature may
51 + be used in the calculation.
52   Each time step line is used to compute a column in the output matrix,
53   where rows correspond to sky patch positions, starting with 0 for
54   the ground and continuing to 145 for the zenith using the default
