I've just uploaded Survex 1.0.4. This should fix the problems that some
Microsoft Windows users reported loading files by double-clicking. If you
still experience these with 1.0.4 (or later) please let me know urgently.
Download from:

Changes between 1.0.3 and 1.0.4:
* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
output format.
* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
on Microsoft Windows.
* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres. Also .plt files should
now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
special case better.
* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files. There are two variants of these
- the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
out packaging now...
* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
* Documentation updates.
Cheers,
