converting compass data to survex

[Wookey]

Whats the current state of the art in compass->survex conversion?

Aven can read .plt files directly, but that doesn't help much when I have a
pile of raw compass data and no windows box.

obviously I can go through and set the data type and convert all the SURVEY
NAME: to  *begin etc but is there a handy script to do this already, and
given that I have several tens, if not hundreds of kilometers (mulu) to
convert I don't mind putting a bit of effort into creating a generally
useful and reversible method.

An awk or perl script is easy enough but not very helpful to others. Is it
worth chaning the front-end to recognise and read this data, or is that a
waste of time until survex 2 modularization starts?

I would add this functionality to rosetta stal except that that seems to be
windows-only so it's no use to me.
