Thanks for sending your comments. Feed back is always valuable.

That chapter is still in the works and will be available shortly. It will 
make up the first half of Manual 07-TRNEdit. To give you a preview, 
however, the syntax of the deck is largely unchanged from version 15. The 
most substantive change is that you must now include the "VERSION 16" or 
"VERSION 15" keyword at the beginning of your input file and you must also 
change the SIMULATION card so that the simulation start time is the hour of 
the year at which you want your simulation to begin, no longer the time at 
the end of the first time step of your simulation. There are a number of 
new keywords but they are all optional and have default values. Information 
on them and on their syntax is contained in the 07-TRNEdit manual.
Kind regards,
  David
