Survex 1.4.2 released

Sat Feb 26 07:02:27 GMT 2022

Thank you Olly,

   it works on my MacBook Pro with MacOS 12.2.1

The only "strange" things that remain is that Aven do not start without a
.3d file

If I try to start Aven from the Application list it start and then freeze
but if I ask to open a .3d file with Aven.app it works...

Thank you again
