>> Hi Chantal,

>> I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to use ASCII data files under
>> Windows, because it doesn't track the exact End-of-File, which confuses
>> some programs.   Replace the -faf option in rtcontrib (which should be
>> rcontrib anyway) with -faa.

>> Dear Radiance List

>> I'm coming with another question that is probably too simple but still
>> keeps me from moving to the next phase of  the 3Phase:
>>
>> When I create the daylight matrix using genklemsamp & rtcontrib I obtain
>> a file with only the header and sometimes some weird symbols ike :
>> ½7†7½7†7½7†7
>>
>>  If I use such file (*.dmx) with dctimestep I get the following Error
>> messages :
>>  warning - unexpected data at the end of binary file
>> results/window_SOUTH.dmx
>>
>>  or
>>  fatal - unexpected EOS reading results/window_SOUTH.dmx
>>
>>  my commands are just like in the Exercise 2 of the tutorial:
>>  genklemsamp -vd 0 -1 0 objects/window_S.rad | rtcontrib -c 1000 -e MF:4
>> -f reinhart.cal -b rbin -bn Nrbins -m sky_glow -faf model_dmx.oct >
>> results/south.dmx
>>
>> If I try to do the same in Windows I get:
>>
>> Usage: vwright {offset|name}
>> Argument "" isn't numeric in multiplication (*) at genklemsamp.pl line 51
>> Argument "" isn't numeric in multiplication (*) at genklemsamp.pl line 51
>> Illegal division by zero at genklemsamp.pl line 51.
>>
>>  I'll really appreciate your help!

>> Thanks in advance!
