\Apps - PC-based FORTRAN software to retrieve data from
gravity station data file
The data presented in Open File D3883/DF20 can be used in regional gravity interpretation. Combined with other data, such as boreholes and measured rock densities, these data can be used to interpret subsurface density variations. This interpretation has application in geological mapping and in exploration for minerals, oil and gas.
The software included on this CD-ROM, RET_256.COM,
is intended to facilitate extraction
of data from the binary data file (SASKGRAV.BIN) by latitude/longitude
defined area and/or
by project number. In addition, Bouguer gravity anomalies can
be calculated with user-specified Bouguer densities to better reflect local
crustal rock densities.
a) To read the Open File report - use an internet browser
to open the file
index.html or click here
b) To extract data from binary data file (\DATA\Binary\Grav\SASKGRAV.BIN) to user-specified format run either:
i) from Windows 95, 98 or NT, click here RET_256.COM
- should a Windows Security Warning prompt you to Open or Save the program
file,
=> choose Open.
NOTE: this link has been tested with Netscape Communicator v4.7 and Microsoft
Internet Explorer v3.02.
OR
ii) from EXPLORER, click on \APPS\RET_256.COM
OR
iii) from MS-DOS, type \APPS\RET_256.COM
NOTE:
see \DOC\ret_256.txt or
\DOC\ret_256.html
for a description of the
operation of ret_256.com.
c) Data are also included on this CD in .DBF format at \DATA\DBF\gravity.dbf
AND
.GDB (GEOSOFT/OASIS) format at \DATA\GEOSOFT\Grav\gravity.gdb
