Always a bummer to find a description arranged like that.
It is highly probable that they bunched the calls together to save recording costs. At least they did not round off to nearest minute and nearest tenth. Neither reason should cause them to create a document that makes reading more difficult.
Would be great for a County Clerk to refuse poorly created originals and make them do overs.
Professionals should understand the need of standardized forms and lettering size to provide a source to accommodate a platform for reproduction purposes, except that is apparently too much to ask from some.
The latest craze of a few local surveyors and attorneys is using micro italic lettering in gray tint rather than black and the resulting image simply does not copy or scan well.
Carlson Surveyor 1, the old dos program I use, has a routine that will record the entries into a file for recovery to edit as needed for corrections or create another file. It is also possible to open a properly created Excel file. Once created, a simple command will calculate closure and create a coordinate file and perform many error tests.

Sure, in the plot window you can click on the inverse button and either use the cursor to pick the points you want to inverse between or enter their numbers in the dialog box.
To get an inverse, just add a distance and bearing between the points and don't constrain them (If I remember correctly that's the * option). It will calculate them for you.
Good Lord!!!

Never noticed that. Works great! Thanks, and sorry for hijacking the thread.
Kent, what kind of line does that description follow?! The original line created must have followed something. Almost seems like it could be a cow/goat/horse/(insert your own) path. Or old small drainage ditch? Meandering fence? Land owner saying I want the dividing line right here "follow me!" and the surveyor did? What is it?

The .REL in-line option will calculate an inverse.
.REL 100-101
Reports the bearing and distance between 100 and 101 with uncertainties in bearing and distance. This assumes that 100 and 101 are points on the adjusted network, not sideshots generated with SS lines. Sideshots have to be generated with data types other than SS (such as M) if you need to get the relative uncertainties.

That tract was one acquired by condemnation for a lake. One boundary follows the most sinous watercourse I've seen in years and the other followed the take line.
