Update:  After poking around a bit, I discovered that Compass will calculate 
cave volume based on centerline and LRUD data.  Doing that means I have to run 
a Windows computer (ugh!) and type in the survey data twice (double ugh!)  
Fortunately the cave for which I need this is small.

Can this feature be added as a suggestion for future versions of Survex?

Compass does quite a few other calculations.  For example, it will calculate 
the volume of the bounding box.  A sample report is attached.  It is nice that 
the report is in both meters and feet.
