The Seismic Unified Data System (SUDS) was originally created at the U.S. Geological Survey by Peter Ward and many others. In the late 1980′s, SUDS version 1 was ported to the 16-bit DOS platform and was adopted for use in the IASPEI Seismological Software Library. This version of SUDS has become known as “PC-SUDS” or “SUDS 1.x”.
We have supported SUDS since those early days and have coordinated the various changes and additions to the format over the years among its many users. We are the original authors of the Fortran and C language callable SUDS I/O library and the venerable PC-SUDS Utilities package and continue to support this software and its worldwide user base.
Recently, with the kind support of Dr. Lani Oncescu at Geotech Instruments, we have ported a subset of the PC-SUDS Utilities package to the 32-bit Windows environment. This package is called Win-SUDS and is available below and from the SUDS Home Page at Geotech’s web site.
Thanks goes out to Phil Dawson at the U.S. Geological Survey for providing support for the port of the 16-bit SCSITape program up to 32-bit and adding it to the Win-SUDS distribution.
