Wed Jul 30 11:56:53 PDT 2014

Dear Greg,

Really before to start with the 3pm simulation in windows (last monday) I
installed, I guss, the last release for windows from:
https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/tag/4.2.a.4 .
Unfortunately I am not in office now but tomorrow I am going to check the
verision.
I really hope that this is the problem.... Let's keep out finger crossed!

Cheers,
Giuseppe
