Okay. That makes sense. Thanks.

This could be a problem. (I'm sure I'll get corrected if wrong....) Many British surveys use just
numbers for stations in the cave (1....x). The surveys are tied together on the surface. In Survex,
that is done using an equate command (*equate Today.1 Yesterday.9). This will need to be
addressed in the future; I rather like the way this works but am unsure on how it could be
migrated. (Then again, I could be too concerned with implementation rather than the concept.)
