I've been tinkering with Genklemsamp to generate a daylight matrix  
file of a window for input into Dctimestep.  I'm using a simple 15'  
x15' x 10' room with a single, south facing window and run Genklemsamp  
as follows:
$ genklemsamp -vd 0 -1 0 -vu 0 0 1 -c 20000 material.rad window.rad |  
rtcontrib -c 20000 -e MF:2 -faf -f reinhart.cal -b rbin -bn Nrbins -m  
sky_glow @render.opt  isotropic_sky.oct > window.dmx

The above seems to go through it's paces without a hitch and generates  
the expected 'window.dmx'  file.

However, when I run dctimestep using the above 'window.dmx file, a  
venetian_blind.xml file from Optics, and sky patch coefficient images  
generated with  vwrays and rtcontrib as follows:
$ gensky 9 21 12:00 -a 37.71 -o 122.21 -m 120 | genskyvec | dctimestep  
image/glass_d_c4%03d.hdr venetian_blind.xml window.dmx >   
test_9-21_1200.hdr
I get the following error:
fatal - unexpected EOF reading Window.dmx

Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks.

Chris
