Sorry for the confusion about COM_TAXNET being 5 in year 0; however, it seems that you have not been reading the documentation?
The year index 0 is reserved for defining an optional interpolation/extrapolation (I/E) option for any time series input data. I think it is reasonably well documented in the main documentation, Part II, but there is also an older separate PDF (might be a bit out-dated):
http://iea-etsap.org/docs/TIMES-Interpolate.pdf
I confess being responsible for designing this particular detail of TIMES: the interpolation/extrapolation options. Reserving 0 for the I/E option seemed quite convenient to me at that time (maybe over 12 years ago), and the design was accepted into the common code.
The default for the Beginning-of-Time is currently 1850 in TIMES. It is user-configurable, but should in general not be less than 1000. If you need still earlier years, 1 is unfortunately the absolute minimum in the current design. You can set your desired BOTIME with the following control parameter:
$SET BOTIME 1000
