The attached files work for reading/writing in C without using the sac library.

My goal is to get the floating point amplitudes into an array, and I am having trouble understanding the correct binary offset in the sac files to get to the amplitudes. The online sac manual states that the "FIRST DATA SECTION" starts at word 158, implying that the following c code should work:
