DUMPSEGY.EXE is a DOS seismic data utility that allows the user to examine all the components of the SEG-Y data files (Zihlman, 1992): the EBCDIC and binary headers, the individual data trace headers, and the hexadecimal SEG-Y samples composing a data trace, or their actual floating point values. The DUMPSEGY.TXT file is the original open-file report that gives detailed instructions on how to use DUMPSEGY.EXE. The DSGYNEWS.TXT file describes the upgrades to the original program.
Please refer to the DUMPSEGY.TXT and DSGYNEWS.TXT for further infomation and instruction. All of these files are located in the USGS_EXE subfolder of the SOFTWARE folder located at the top level of this CD-ROM.
