I am very rusty with the way they are organised, but if there is any way of
getting Survex and/or Therion to read files from Walls I'd be grateful.

[Therion] Importing Compass files

Is this a short term need Graham? I've been planning to add Compass format
reading/writing and Therion writing to me cave data converter for a while.
It might be another while before I get it done, but it is useful to know
what there is a need for as it helps me chose what to prioritise.

Therion's support for importing Compass PLT files is provided by the
"img" library from Survex, which primarily provides reading and writing
of .3d files, but can also read Survex .pos files, Compass PLT, and
CMAP XYZ files.  The syntax should be the same except for the filename
extension.

If there are other formats people would find it useful to be able to
read, it's probably not hard to add support for them.

Thanks Jonny, I assume that would be by using similar syntax to that used to
import Survex.3d files. However, as I would need to firstly write a project
level .dat file in order to include the necessary co-ordinate information
before generating the plt file, that makes it no simpler than my 'quick and
dirty' fix of importing the original .plt file into Survex and then
importing the resultant .3d file into Therion.

This also has the advantage of consistent syntax in my Therion file making
it easier to see errors.
