Have the mechanical performance curves in the doe2 library ever been documented?

I'm in a weird spot and need to cite the source of the equipment curves sourced from the curve libraries. I've been digging around doe2.com/download/ and every iteration/version of DOE2#Vol4 - Libraries I can find has the following blurb:

In contrast, the lighting/envelope libraries presently contained in Volume 4 are exactly the sort of dry/simple listings and tables I'd like to be able to point at with a citation to say "here is where those boiler curves come from." The extent to which the sources of those curves are explained is of secondary interest for my current needs, so a document with doe2 letterhead and a simple table would be sufficient (hoping I don't need to make one).

Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn whether and where the present-day equipment libraries are "documented" in a readily citable format & official capacity?

Thanks,

~Nick

Supplementing my request / query:

I forgot to mention, every curve I'm specifically needing to cite is contained between the BDLLIB.DAT and eQ_Lib.dat files that come packaged with eQUEST. If I have to, my fallback plan is to paste those two together in fine print and slap some official looking equest / doe2.com logos in the header... maybe deliberately smudge the ink and re-scan it to express my appreciation for the fine-tooth degree of review I'm handling ;-).

Hopefully that helps paint a more helpfully specific picture!
