<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-NZ
style='font-size:10.0pt'>.xtherion.dat allows Xtherion to populate the Survey
Structure, Survey Information and Map Structure panels to the right of the window,
on opening a thconfig file, based on the last compile (assuming it was successful).
If you double-click the map or survey it will add a select statement for that object
to the thconfig file.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-NZ
style='font-size:10.0pt'>If .xtherion.dat is deleted, then you will need a
successful compile before you get this functionality. With very large
projects this can take quite some time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-NZ
style='font-size:10.0pt'>therion.log can contain information that identifies
the reason for an unsuccessful compile. If you delete it automatically,
many of your clues are erased.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-NZ
style='font-size:10.0pt'>Both these files are overwritten on successful runs,
and are quite small, so I think two files per folder containing thconfigs is a
small price to pay.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-NZ
style='font-size:10.0pt'>Only thing I would like to change (sometimes and
sometimes not) with therion.log, is to move it to my output folder of choice, and
rename it to match the theme of outputs generated by that particular thconfig.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-NZ

running I think, so if anyone gets the delayed ‘system’ command
working well, please post an example.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
