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:
================================================================
Bleistein, N., J. K. Cohen, and J. W. Stockwell, Jr., [2001],
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. This book is a must for every geophysicist doing
seismic or radar imaging.
The book has been out since the end of Dec 2000. Please see:
http://www.cwp.mines.edu/mmsimi
for further details.

================================================================
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:
================================================================
Well log support: A primitive code called suwellrf has been
included. This code may provide a starting point to many variations
on the problem of generating synthetic seismograms from well-logs.
SEG-D tape support: much improved, thanks to Stew Levin of Mobil.
xmovie,xgraph focus problem: fixed by Morten Pedersen in this release.
================================================================
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.) A primitive
code "suwellrf" has been included in the current release, but this
is only the beginning.
-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.
-Refl/main/sureflpsvsh.c - This code works for some input datasets, but
still needs bugs fixed.
-no 3D plotting to speak of.
================================================================
Thank you, to all who have helped make CWP/SU Release 35 the best
release so far!
