open-source h2k tools for programmers

    Over the past few months, rather than just bitching about H2K, I started writing my own tools.  I decided to release them as open source so other EAs that are familiar with the Unix CLI can use them too.  There are some hard-coded values appropriate for NS, so EAs in other provinces may need to make some changes.

    The tools include:

    A greener homes wizard that generates a h2k file in ERS mode, with most of the standard RUR comment text pre-populated.

    E-file wizard that takes a D file and produces an E-file.

    A mshp updater that sets EfficiencyNS info fields and adds a Type 2 CCHP with specs populated from the NRCan CCHP database.

    These tools are for people that have some level of programming experience.  If you don't know what "#!/usr/bin/python" means, then these tools will not be of any use to you.

    So are you running h2k through wine?  I tried but failed.

    I suffer with Win7, made slightly more tolerable with MSYS2.  For the brave/crazy souls running Win10, WSL should be fine for running the shell tools.
