''This is a draft page for the sh2sac tool.''

== Program description ==

This tool can help you to convert your Q-files to SAC file format. It can transcribe most of the default Q-files header variables. Also station coordinates are gathered from STATINF.DAT and filed into the SAC header. This program is coded in C language and tested on 32-bit linux machines only, no needs for libraries, only the basic C libraries.

== Download ==


You can download it from [http://my.opera.com/mtchelo/blog/index.dml/tag/sh2sac here] (version 0.5 - released 21/02/2009).

'''WARNING''': Please update to this last version since older versions presents serious bugs in time/date string manipulation.

== Compile ==

To compile just type make.

== Install ==

After you uncompress it, to install adjust the location where you want to install inside the Makefile and just type 'make install'.

== Usage ==

Type sh2sac and it will show you a little help. But basically you should do:

* If you have seismic handler installed and wants stations coordinates to be filled

{{{
sh2sac -h <QHD file> -b <QBN file> -stash
}}}

* If you don't need station coordinates filled

{{{
sh2sac -h <QHD file> -b <QBN file>
}}}

* If you DONT have seismic handler installed, and you want coordinates, them you must prepare a 4 column mode file and type:

{{{
   sh2sac -h <QHD file> -b <QBN file> -sta mycoordinatefile.txt
}}}

Any comments are very welcome !
