Disto / PocketTopo seems to get quite some traction here in Switzerland. I
never actually used that software, but I got some parts of a cavemap that was
produced with PocketTopo. It is definitively not Therion format.

Attached is a first try to make something useful from the tpo file. I do a
simple translation in absolute coordinates, and add a million splay commands
where necessary. Also there seem to be whole drawings in the tpo file, that I
am able to plot.

To run the program you'll need Python, and Matplotlib for the drawing
part. Very rough, but working.

Best, Martin
