Ah - I think both of those are notations for when there are two
plausible/significant possible readings. e.g 0+8 could mean the point is on
the wall, but there is 8m of bedding plane going off beyond, or keyhole
passage where the point is on the wall of the canyon but the upper passage
goes off 8m to the left.

1/5 could be two things: Either is has the same meaning but a
different notation or it is means 1.5 and not been transliterated on data
entry.

Recording 'both' values like this is very useful when drawing up but of
course it is not a standard notation, and the software should probably
take the 'bigger' number, although if it marked both when drawing
centrelines that would be handy.

Which file was it in? I'd have to check against the notes to be sure what
the meaning was.
