SAC subprocesses
2010-03-30 18:28:44
We are very close to coming out with SAC 101.4. Prompted in part by a recent exchange on this listserv about calculating traveltimes in SAC, I looked at the SAC traveltime command.

We would appreciate comments from those on this listserv who use these subprocesses as to what works or does not work. As with the traveltime co… [more]

GETFHV Read Error
2010-03-18 16:08:19 - 2010-03-18 17:02:51
Hi, I am using the LIBSAC libraries to read header values into a fortran code. I am having trouble reading in the 'dist' header field. The rsac call in the fortran code does not return an error, as other header values can be read.

ERROR 1336: Undefined header field value. dist However, when I use sac and open this same file and list t… [more]
