Have you tried Terraintool?

quote
I've recently developed an application to create terrain data for Survex from the results of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Coverage is >99% of the land mass between 60 degrees North and 56 degrees South - with the missing bits mostly being in mountaneous areas where steep faces were shadowed from the oblique radar by surrounding peaks.
 
The tool lets you select a rectangular area in a variety of coordinate systems (OSGB, Irish Grid, UTM, Lambert Coordinates, Austrian grid...) and saves the result as a .svx Survex data file. It's written in Java and should run OK on Windows, Linux, Solaris etc. If anyone's interested in playing with it you can download it fromhttp://uk.geocities.com/mikemccombe@btinternet.com/terraintool.htm You'll also find some installation instructions and driving instructions.
 
Best regards,
Mike

As far as I can tell there is no Windows interpreter that will run
applescript.  One would need to write an equivalent script in a Windows
compatible language I think.

Stelios' approach seems to be more straight forward, except that I have not
being able to decipher vtopo and gensur.  I stumbled my way through the
French language to install it and eventually view vtopo in English, but
gensur is always it French it seems.  That stopped me.

Wolfgang has posted a reasonably comprehensive means to get a terrain model.
I will try it eventually. http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=ifl

Hello
Does anyone with a Windows machine? Did someone perhaps the Google Earth
script by Martin reprogrammed? Or what other
options there are? Unfortunately I have no idea about the program.

Best regards
Thomas
