As a point to note -90 and Down at treated differently for clino 
correction, they can be treated ed the same

 From the survex manual

     "*infer plumbs on" tells cavern to interpret gradients of +/- 90 
degrees as UP/DOWN (so it will not apply the clino correction to them). 
This is useful when the data has not been converted to have UP and DOWN
