New, Continued, and Expanded Support:
================================================================
I would again like to thank the Society of Exploration Geophysicists for
support over the past year.
My thanks also goes to the Consortium Project on Seismic Inverse
Methods for Complex Structures at the Center for Wave Phenomena
for its continuing financial support of the SU project.
My thanks to the Gas Research Institute for the continued use
of several computer systems.
================================================================
New Book:
================================================================
Part of the reason why this release of SU took so long to
get out is that I have been working on our new textbook:
Bleistein, N., J. K. Cohen, and J. W. Stockwell, Jr., [2000],
Mathematics of Multidimensional Seismic Imaging, Migration,
and Inversion, (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics, V. 13.)
Springer Verlag, New York.
This textbook presents a comprehensive mathematical treatment
of many types of seismic migration, as well as DMO and other
Fourier-based data mapping processes, written from the vantage point
of inverse scattering theory. This is a graduate level textbook.
However, parts of the book are appropriate for upper-level
undergraduates. Several figures in the book were created using
programs in SU.
The book is scheduled to be printed in Dec 2000. Please see:
http://www.cwp.mines.edu/mmsimi
for further details.

What's New in SU:
================================================================
================================================================
User's Manual Update:
Every release brings improvements and extensions to the manual.
There is also a Japanese language version of the New SU Users Manual
avalable at: http://tansa1.kumst.kyoto-u.ac.jp/suj/

================================================================
New Software:
================================================================
par/main/grm.c - Compute velocity model from refraction data via the
Generalized Reciprocal Method.
Thanks to Steven D. Sheaffer of CWP.
par/main/vel2stiff.c - transforms velocities, densities, and
Thomsen parameters to elastic stiffnesses
Thanks to Sverre Brandesberg-Dahl of CWP.
su/main/sudatumfd.c - finite difference prestack datuming
Thanks to Chris Robinson of CWP.
su/main/suea2df.c - elastic anisotropic 2d finite difference modeling
code.
Thanks to Chris Juhlin of the University of Upsala in Sweden.
su/main/sucommand.c - pipe traces having the same key header word to
an SU command.
Thanks to Matthias Imhof of Virginia Tech.
su/main/sukdmig3d.c - 3D Kirchhoff migration in the same veign as
sukdmig2d. Needs a traveltime generation code.
Thanks to Zhaobo Meng of CWP.
================================================================
Changes:
================================================================
cwp/lib/intl2b.c - Fixed a segmentation violation error seen on
Dec Alpha systems running Digital Unix that was preventing
the graphics programs from working properly.
Thanks to Zhiguang Cai, of the Petroleum University of
China, and Bee Bednar, of Advance Data Solutions in Houston.
par/lib/getpars.c - Fixed problems with the par= option.
Thanks to Reginald Beardsley of UNOCAL.
su/main/bhedtopar.c - added a byte swapping option.
su/main/dt1tosu.c - fixed error in dt getpar
su/main/segyread.c - modification to HPUX support.
su/main/segywrite.c - modification to HPUX support.
su/main/suaddnoise.c - fixed a problem with zero value traces,
All thanks to Reginald Beardsley of UNOCAL.
su/main/sumute.c - added linear airwave mute feature
Thanks to Dominique Rousset of the University of Pau.
su/main/sunormalize.c - fixed a bug in the rms mode.
Thanks to Bonnie Rippere Barton of PGS.
su/main/supickamp.c - many modifications.
Thanks to Andreas Rueger of Landmark Graphics.
su/main/sustack.c - fixed intrac.nhs/fold bugs.
Thanks to Oistein Aanensen of the University of Bergen.
su/main/sustatic.c - fixed hdrs=2 bug, added several new options
to provide compatibility with sudatumfd.
Thanks to Chris Robinson of CWP.
su/main/suvcat.c - allow overlapping regions between concatenated
datasets.
Thanks to Steven D. Sheaffer of CWP.
demos/Refraction/GRM

demos/Statics/Residual_Refraction_Statics

Third_Party/Statics - an update to sustatic.c and a version of
suresstat.c which may be an improvement to the current version of
suresstat.c. The changes in sustatic.c need to propagated to
the current version of su/main/sustatic.c.
Thanks to Tom Pratt of the USGS.
================================================================
The Seismic Unix Project depends heavily on contributed code
extensions and bug fixes from the SU users community.
Please note, if you contributed new code, or changes and don't
see it on this list, it will likely be in the next release.
================================================================
================================================================
Resolved issues:
================================================================
The issue of SU graphics supporting color depth greater than 8 bit
has been solved by Baoniu Han of CWP, for ximage, suximage, xmovie,
and suxmovie.
SU on Dec Alpha under Digital Unix may be ok now. I need people
to try out the current version and get back to me.
SEG-D tape support: much improved, thanks to Stew Levin of Mobil.
================================================================
Unresolved Issues:
================================================================
-xmovie: gray only, no colors.
-Well log support: Reading in well logs for synthetic seismogram
construction would be helpful. (An individual promised to contribute
something, but I have not heard back from him.)
-DEC Alpha: These may be fixed, but testing by users in the SU
community is still necessary.
-Xtcwp/main/xmovie,xgraph
These windows will not accept focus under linux/XFree86.
-Xtcwp/main/xmovie
The grid1=, grid2= options cause an abort under linux/XFree86 and
possibly other platforms. Message is:
Error: Cannot perform malloc
This seems like a compiler error since innocuous changes in the code
or compiling without optimization makes the problem go away. We
distributed the current version with such an innocuous change
to accomodate this: we changed the dimension of args[] from 100 to 98.
-su/main/suresstat.c - Does not really work for general datasets,
suggest
that it be broken into two programs, one to
compute
source statics and one to compute receiver
statics.
-Refl/main/sureflpsvsh.c - This code works for some input datasets, but
still needs bugs fixed.
================================================================
Thank you, to all who have helped make CWP/SU Release 34 the best
release so far!
