NAME

egg2seg - BSU program converts EGG Geometrics files (SEG-2) to BSEGY (*.seg) format

SYNOPSIS

egg2seg [ -h | infile ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) reads the File Descriptor Block (FDB), Trace Descriptor Blocks (TDB), and data of SEG-2 format data as produced on EGG Geometrics Engineering Seismographs. The output is in 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). However, time of day, sample rate, number of samples, and other key header values are extracted from the SEG-2 files and included in the BSEGY output. See bis2seg for a similar program designed for the Bison Engineering Seismograph files. C-Language Version.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

infile1

Input file name

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:
egg2seg 1003.dat

File 1003.dat is converted to 1003.seg.

FILES

xxxx.seg

named according to input file first 4 characters (see example above).

standard output

produces a progress bar

xxxx.lst

Listing of SEG-2 header contents.

BUGS

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.
