Dear friends, I thank for the miracle I hoped all me cave life. My  
dream about xyz instrument is reality.

I spoke with Beat just few minutes he presented his solution. His  
answers were simple: he did it for himself but he is able to SELL  
such boards to other surveyors. The software is for himself too, so  
use it or let it be.

The format of .top files is just simple, because PocketTopo uses only  
straight lines, not splines or Beziers. It means you should to redraw  
the sketch from PocketTopo anyway.
