Octave

Included with BSU is a directory with some procedures written in the Octave language. For example, the procedure, bsegin.m, can read the binary BSEGY data format. If you have used Matlab, you will find Octave easy to use (the syntax is very similar). Also included in BSU are other scripts to perform seismic refraction interpretation and inversion of down-hole transmission seismograms for soil stiffness and damping. Octave is particularly useful for plotting, and some interactive GUI driven plotting procedures may prove useful to the user. You may install Octave with your package manager or download Octave from the web site, http://www.gnu.org/software/octave.
