[Therion] Distance between two survey station

[eric georges]

Hello,

Thank you for your replies.
I was familiar with the "Survex Aven" method, but it was "Distance along 
the survey legs between these points" that I was looking for.
The method proposed by Benedikt Hallinger (shortestPath.py) works very well.
I'm currently unable to compile "survex-dist" (I get an error), the 
method proposed by Alastair Gott.
