[Radiance-general] Three-Phase Method: dmx

[Greg Ward]

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.

Cheers,
-Greg
