Survex 1.1.16 development snapshot uploaded

Mon May 16 10:07:33 BST 2011

Here's a minor irritation, though. I didn't have any data handy to
test the new version with, so I downloaded the (very ancient) sample
data tarball from the survex web page. Running cavern on it gave a
bunch of error messages relating to misformatted dates, e.g.:

caves/041/arge/rondos.svx:8: Invalid month
caves/144/arge/144horiz.svx:8: Invalid day of the month

and the run concluded with the infuriating message:

There were 0 warning(s) and 25 non-fatal error(s) - no output files produced.

It's fair enough if the current version is a bit more fascist about
dates than 1.0 versions were; but if the errors weren't fatal, why
weren't any output files produced? How do I force it to ignore the
non-fatal errors and write a 3d file anyway? The full transcript
(below) makes it clear that the actual calculations succeeded and
hence cavern knows perfectly well where the stations are, it's just
sulking and refusing to output them to a file!
