Foreword
The complete documentation for SurView is contained in the surview.hlp file accessible from SurView's Help menu. Unfortunately, although it was designed as 'help', over the years it has grown to contain too much information to be truly helpful to users of SurView. It should be split into two parts - one for developers and another for users, but that will probably never be done. This tutorial attempts to provide some relief from the excruciating detail of the surview.hlp file, however it does not replace it.
