NAME

     las2usp  - convert LAS format log data to a USP trace.

SYNOPSIS

     las2usp [ -Nntap ] [ -Ootap ] [ -sist ] [ -eiend ] [  -lhhdr
     ] [ -colcol ] [ -sinsi ] [ -V ] [ -?  or  -h or  -help  ]

DESCRIPTION

     las2usp : reads an input LAS format ASCII file and creates a
     USP  trace  from  the log data column requested by the user.
     The user may window the log data and supply an output sample
     interval.

     las2usp gets both its data and its parameters  from  command
     line  arguments.  These arguments specify the input, output,
     the window start and end, the number of  lines  in  the  LAS
     header,  the  column  to convert, the output sample interval
     and verbose printout, if desired.

  Command line arguments
     -N ntap  [default: none]
          Enter the input data set name or file immediately after
          typing  -N. This input file should include the complete
          path name if the file resides in a different directory.
          Example  -N/b/vsp/dummy  tells  the program to look for
          file 'dummy' in directory '/b/vsp'.

     -O otap  [default: stdout]
          Enter the output data  set  name  or  file  immediately
          after  typing -O. This output file is not required when
          piping the output to another process. The  output  data
          set also requires the full path name (see above).

     -s ist  [default: start LAS file]
          Enter the start depth.  It is assumed that depth is  in
          column 1 of the LAS file.

     -e iend  [default: end of LAS file]
          Enter the end depth to  convert.  It  is  assumed  that
          depth is in column 1 of the LAS file.

     -lh hdr  [default: 43]
          Enter the number of lines in your LAS file header.

     -col col  [default: 7]
          Enter the column to be converted to a USP trace.

     -si nsi  [default: 2]
          Enter the sample interval of the output dataset.

     -V   Enter the command line argument '-V' to get  additional
          printout.

     -? or -h or -help
          Enter the command line argument '-?'  or  -h  or  -help
          to  get  online help.  The program terminates after the
          help screen is printed.
