PACE 1989 Data

I found out today that I can get the seismic data from my graduate work.  Doing a search for USGS seismic data and then I forgot what other search, I stumbled upon this link.  This then referred me to IRIS which in a search of their database, turned up the Pacific to Arizona Crustal Experiment 1989 data.  I filled out the form to request access to the data and now I've downloaded the two files (310 mbyte).  I think I will process this stuff on a Linux machine as I have to install something like the Colorado School of Mines Seismic Unix system.  There's also this Window's SeiSee SEG-Y software!  Looks like this is going to be harder to display than I thought.  I really will have to do this on a Unix system.  Barry Zelt's code is available here (get a load of his humorous blurb at the bottom about how much his software costs!).  I used a modified version of Barry's brother, Colin's, plotting software in graduate school.  I see there is also PlotSEC at UBC.  I put the data into SeiSee and it's just a bunch of traces.  I also need to apply the reduction time typical of wide-angle data (in the one below, it was 8 km/s).  There is also IGeos at USask.  There's some stuff here, but just links to other stuff.  There's something called WASPAR, but I've not been able to find a link to download it.  It was originally made for Fedora, but others have made it work for Ubuntu, but I can't find a download link!  Open Source Seismic Software list and more hereSeisWide works for Windows XP (kind of old now).  I got it to plot with SeisWide on a Windows 7 PC.  SeisWide can be downloaded here.
I have something on this shot point others don't

I had left my work unpublished even though I had something nobody else did!  With God's help, I can get this done and made public instead of collecting dust in my MSc thesis.
