OVERVIEW
Program seg2_edit is used to edit and manipulate files that contain seismic (or radar) data stored in the SEG-2 format. The program is written in the standard C++ programming language, including its standard library. The program has been compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET and tested on the Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and XP operating systems. Nonetheless, because of the usage of the standard language, the source code should readily compile with other compilers, and the program should execute on other operating systems like UNIX or LINUX.
Although users of this program do not need detailed knowledge of the SEG-2 format, they must understand the following aspects of the SEG-2 format: the definition of the file descriptor block, the definition of the trace descriptor block, the keywords and associated values that are part of the file descriptor block, and the keywords and associated values that are part of the trace descriptor block. This information is not included in this report, but it may be obtained from the report establishing the SEG-2 standard (Subcommittee of the SEG Engineering and Groundwater Geophysics Committee, 1990).
