Survex 1.1.1 test version uploaded

[Josep Guarro]

Great job Olly! finally solid passages! and even wothout typing the
LRUD data :-)

Here are some bugsI've found  in the Windows release (Windows 98).

Just after opening the Aven, an error is displayed:

"Couldn't add an image to the image list"
You click "Ok" and it looks like everthing is ok.

Then you open a 3d file and it doesn't load at full screen, just some
parts of it, then by clicking the mouse left button the rest of the
screen is loaded.

Also when in "Perspective" the zoom does not work.

And finally I cannot get the grid to turn on, neither by the menu nor
the CTRL-G

>Changes in 1.1.1:
>
>* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
>  startup.		
>
>* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
>  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
>
>Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
>
>* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
>  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
>  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
>
>* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
>  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
>  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
>
>* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
>  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
>  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
>
>* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
>
>* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
>  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
>
>* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
>  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
>
>* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
>  better use of screen space.
>
>* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
>
>* aven: Perspective view.
>
>* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
>
>* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
>  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
>
>* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
>  and load/save/run them.
>
>* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
>
>* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
>
>* aven: Depth fogging option.
>
>* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
>
>* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
>
>* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
>  showing the surface legs.
>
>* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
