	Set decimal comma problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Hello cavers, because here in good ol' Germany we use the comma as decimal separator I tried the set decimal* comma command in Survex 0.96.
		I think the problem is caused by the comma already defined as "white space" character in Survex which threads the 5,18 from the example above as two numbers 5 and 18 instead of one number 15.8.
		My next attempt was re-defining the blank character using set blank SpaceTab one line above the set decimal Comma line but now Survex complains "Testloch.svx:7: Character ' not allowed in station name (use *SET NAMES to set allowed characters) cavern: No survey data".
