How useful, I didn't realise OpenOffice supported DXF, even if it isn't so great with the 20MB file of the Snowdon mountain range that I use as my test case! I've spent most of today working with different tools to convert the raw contour data into other, more useful forms such as a DEM dataset (which is essentially just an image coloured according to height. I've generally found a successful method to do this, and hope to publish my results later this week.
