The supplemental archive has undergone many significant changes:
- dbase:
- Added optional final column to the grdraster.info
database that can be set to L or B to indicate the endianness of the
binary data file. A missing column means the data has the same
endianness as the machine and no swapping is needed.
- meca:
- The meca package comes with completely new tools for plotting
symbols of importance to seismologiest and geodesists. The
package now has two new tools (pscoupe and pspolar ),
while the old psvelomeca has been separated into psmeca
and psvelo .
- mgg:
- The MGD77 reader mgd77togmt is now aware of the new
Y2K-compliant MGD77 format and also will make a reasonable effort
in handling older files.
- spotter:
- New package with two tools for plate tectonic reconstructions:
backtracker will move geological markers forward or backward
in time, while hotspotter will apply the hotspotting technique
to make a CVA image of potential hotspot locations. An announcement
will shortly be published in EOS Trans. AGU.
- x2sys:
- A new implementation of Wessel's crossover error estimation
tool, which now is POSIX, ANSI-C, and Y2K complient, as well as
faster. The package is generic and can extract data from arbitrary ASCII
or binary data files with x2sys_datalist and calculate crossovers
from the same files with x2sys_cross .
