bis2seg - BSU program converts Bison Engineering Seismograph files to BSU (bsegy) format
bis2seg [ -h | infile ]
Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) reads the Bison file and converts it to BSU’s BSEGY format (*.seg files). This program is intended for a quick conversion of the data, and does not set geometry (coordinates are zeroed out, see topcon for geometry setting). However, time of day, sample rate, number of samples, and other key header values are extracted from the BISON files and included in the BSEGY output. See egg2seg for a similar program designed for the EGG Geometrics Seismograph files which are in SEG-2 format. C-Language Version.

Input file name
NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input
parameters.
EXAMPLE:
bis2seg abcd0001
File file abcd0001 is converted to abcd0001.seg
xxxxxxxx.seg
named according to input file first 8 characters (see example above).
standard output
produces a progress bar
xxxxxxxx.lst
Listing of BISON header contents.

no known bugs, but was designed primarily for EGG’s seismograph. Your mileage may vary with other seismographs. This is not a general SEG-2 conversion program. See Seismic Unix for that sort of thing.
