  23 <Para>
  24 Diffpos reports stations which
  25 are in one file but not the other, and also stations which have moved
  26 by more than a specified threshold distance in X, Y, or Z.  The
  27 threshold distance is given in metres and defaults to 0.01m if not
  28 specified.

  32 For backward compatibility diffpos will also read the
  33 <filename>.pos</filename> files produced by earlier versions of cavern, by
  34 the (now removed) 3dtopos tool, by survexport, or by aven's export feature
  35 (requires 1.2.19 or later).
