[SAC-HELP] ASCII to SAC

[Januka Attanayake]

Hello everyone,
I have a time series of synthetic traces and would like to convert them to
SAC format. I know I could use the CONVERT function but before that I have
to format the ASCII (time series) file by arranging the values for sac
header. Is there a utility to do this pre-formatting before I could use the
CONVERT function?
ex. I believe my ASCII file should look like the following before using
CONVERT

I am not sure how I could get the values related to sac header organized (a
program?). Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

Januka.
