I stared with Hunter Goatley's September 2001 version. It builds (at that time) on Windows (many flavors), Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, Tru64 Unix, etc. If that is what you have in mind, I can send it to you to try out. I actually plan to revive working with it it in a month or so when I wrap up publication of a 17 year data collection of earthquakes we recorded on a seismograph array using OpenVMS/VAX on a MicroVAX II/III. The original data are all archived now on ODS-2 CDs. I plan to develop a recipe for accessing the data in its original format, should that ever be necessary, using either SIMH or the ODS-2 reader.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><br></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Larry Baker</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">US Geological Survey</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">650-329-5608</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="mailto:baker@usgs.gov">baker@usgs.gov</a></font></p> </div><br></body></html>
