I prepared a FAPFILE in the format listed in the transfer help file, and
it is as if the amplitude were 1 and phase 0 for all frequencies.

Has anyone succeeded in getting it to work?

What I was trying to do was running EVALRESP externally from SAC, which
produces separate AMP. and PHASE. files for each channel. I wrote a
program to convert them into a FAPFILE, but ...

    Art,

    I don't think fapfile will do anything. I'm pretty sure it got
    stripped out with the seismanger database functionality. Sorry if
    my previous message didn't make this clear.

      Thanks Peter. I somehow missed that earlier message from you. (I have been
      having computer problems and have missed some messages.) It is deceptive as
      there is still code to check for the existence of a FAPFILE. I was thinking the
      coding was incomplete, not that code had been deleted.

      That is too bad, because I do not see another way output from external EVALRESP
      can be introduced to SAC. Happily, FROM EVALRESP works well. What is lost is
      some of the options within EVALRESP.

      Is TRANSFER FROM DBASE also a relic?

        Unfortunately "transfer from dbase" also would have gone away with
        the removal of the seismanager and the database connections".
