| The official FDSN SEED reading software is the program RDSEED, which was developed and
is maintained by the IRIS Data Management Center (IRIS DMC) in Seattle, Washington. This
software can read SEED volumes stored on CD-ROM's, magnetic tapes, or on a hard disk. The
software is available from the IRIS DMC and runs under the UNIX operating system. The
program should also run under LINUX on a PC. For instructions on obtaining the RDSEED
software, use the Electronic Bulletin Board at the IRIS DMC. To access the IRIS DMC Electronic Bulletin Board, telnet to dmc.iris.washington.edu (128.95.166.2) and login as "bulletin" with the password "board". For general information about RDSEED, (and other software), use the menu option "p" in the Bulletin Board. To request that RDSEED be physically shipped to you, use the "n" option of the Bulletin Board. To obtain a copy of RDSEED electronically, use the anonymous ftp at the IRIS DMC and check in the pub/programs subdirectory (see the instructions below). The RDSEED software comes with manual pages which provide detailed information on using RDSEED. RDSEED is regularly updated, so one should always use the latest version. For more information on obtaining RDSEED, or if you have questions, send e-mail to: comments@dmc.iris.washington.edu. Brief instructions for obtaining RDSEED via anonymous FTP: 1) ftp ftp.iris.washington.edu After downloading, the RDSEED tar file must be unpacked with the UNIX tar utility (see the UNIX manual pages for more information on the tar command). The tar file includes a compiled copy of the RDSEED program which is ready-to-run if you are using a Sun Microsystems computer running the latest version of Berkeley UNIX. The tar file includes everything necessary to recompile the program if you are using a different hardware/software platform. |
