Not so far as I know. Perhaps this is one reason we don't have many US users :-)

This probably deserves a wishlist bug. Would you want the error file output to be changed too (I assume so).

It adds up all the vertical elements of all the shots; (not generally a
very useful number). Even if the cave is mostly horizontal many of the
legs will be slightly up or down and that will all add up. e.g if each
leg went up or down by 10cm, then a 1000 shots survey would have a
"Total vertical length of survey shots" of 100m.

Right, but that's a different number (max vertical range from highest to lowest point).
