Re: oct files

[Victor Hanby]

Each component model is modular, so compiling with multiple files will  
be fine. I could add in the file containing the thermodynamic  
functions into each model (cooling tower, fan, w.h.y.) but it would be  
more elegant if I could do it as per your last paragraph.

I'm a bit out of my depth here, thanks for the help.
