Is there a sac2ascii program available to convert my sac wavefiles into
an ascii format? I'm using SAC on Solaris 5.8.
Thanks,

    Youi read in your file, run convert, and write out the result.

    In sac, do the following:

    SAC> help convert


    SAC Command Reference Manual CONVERT

    SUMMARY:
    Converts data files from one format to another.

    It goes on to tell you what the arguments will be.

    Its easy to access any sac header or data value directly from the sac
    file if you know how to use C

    

    To compile:

    gcc -o sac2ascii sac2ascii.c

    To run:

    ./sac2ascii < mysacfile.sac > myasciifile.txt

    Output format is:
    Column 1 - time in seconds
    Column 2 - amplitude
