[Radiance-general] Groundhog Electric Lighting capabilities - validation challenge

[Thomas Bleicher]

German

If you want to validate your re-coded version of ies2rad you only need to
compare the output of both programs against each other. This can be done
via script as part of your testing on a number of IES files with different
types and features.

BTW: If you don't want to rely on an existing Radiance installation you can
still include select binaries in you SketchUp extension package. That way
you don't have to duplicate Radiance C code and can be sure that the output
is identical to pure Radiance.
