NAME

     navmerge  - routine to merge raw marine seismic  acquisition
     data with processed UKOOA_SEGP navigation data.


SYNOPSIS

     navmerge [ -Nntap ] [ -Ootap ] [ -Uutap ] [ -Sstap ] [ -sist
     ] [ -eiend ] [ -nsnstr ] [ -nenetr ] [ -rsnrst ] [ -renred ]
     [ -vvel ] [ -V ] [ -?  or  -h or  -help ]


DESCRIPTION

     navmerge reads in seismic data in USP format and  associated
     UKOOA  SEGP  navigation data.  The source and receiver posi-
     tions are loaded to  the  seismic  data.   In  addition  the
     signed trace distance is calculated and installed.  An addi-
     tional skips file may  be  attached  if  there  are  missing
     shots.   Any missing records will be padded with dead traces
     but also contain navigation data as it  was  recorded.   The
     seismic and navigation data  MUST  be in sync in their asso-
     ciated files.  No attempt is made to check  if  one  or  the
     other  is  reversed [which shouldn't be the case if both the
     seismic and the navigation data are from the field  acquisi-
     tion].

     navmerge gets both its data and its parameters from  command
     line  arguments.  These arguments specify the input, output,
     the navigation file, an optional shot skips file, the  start
     and  end  time  to pass, the start and end traces, start and
     end records, the water velocity to store in the line  header
     and verbose printout, if desired.

  Command line arguments
     -N ntap  [default: stdin]
          Enter the input data set name or file immediately after
          typing -N unless the input is from a pipe in which case
          the -N entry must be omitted. 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).

     -U utap  [default: none]
          Enter the file name of the UKOOA SEG_P navigation  data
          file.

     -S stap  [default: not used]
          Enter the file name of the optional skips file.   Enter
          any  missing  field  shot  point  numbers one per line.
          These must be in the same numbering system as the field
          acquisition.

     -s ist   [default: 0]
          Global start time (ms).

     -e iend  [default: time of last sample]
          Global end time (ms).

     -ns nstr  [default: 1]
          Enter the start trace number.

     -ne netr  [default: last trace of record]
          Enter the end trace number.

     -rs nrst  [default: 1]
          Enter start record number.

     -re nred  [default: last record]
          Enter end record number.

     -v vel  [default: 1500]
          Enter the water velocity to be stored in the lineheader
          entry WatVel.

     -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.


DISCUSSION

     The navigation file at present must  contain  only  the  nav
     data  for  the  current  line.  I have still to receive from
     Hammouda an example of the full processed  tape  that  comes
     back  from  the contractor.  If you wish to use this routine
     for more than one line at a time and have such a tape,  give
     me  a call.  In the mean time here is an example of the for-
     mat of the navigation file:

     The program identifies the  current  shot  location  if  the
     first  letter  on the line is 'S' and assumes that everyting
     starting with 'R' refers to receiver locations.
