That's great, Phillip! I thought about doing it either way and wasn't
sure which was easier. I appreciate your help and the sample programs.

Instead of using sacio.a, you might want to just use a simple struct
to get the header and read it yourself. By reading the just the
header, you get npts and then can do memory allocation yourself.
Attached are a .h file that matches the sac header and a simple C
program to read and write it. It might be easier than using sacio.a.

    I cam in late on this discussion, but I want to point out that there is a
    program that comes with version 101.0, saclst, that is self-contained and
    give header variables in many useful outputs.

    [snoke@equake /usr/local/sac/bin]> saclst help
    Usage: saclst header_values f file_lists
    ex. saclst delta npts kstnm f sacfile1 sacfile2
    All Values are case insensitive, except F
    If header_values = default - All Defined Values, 2 Columns
    If header_values = default1 - All Defined Values, 1 Column
    If header_values = all - All Values
    If header_values = Full - All Values Formatted (capital F)
    Available SAC Header Values
