Contributed Software

The current contact for contributed-code questions is Gary Pavlis, pavlis@indiana.edu.

Web-based CVS Repository

There is now web-based access to the CVS Repository. This allows users to browse examples of Antelope contributed source code and download just the pieces they want. You can access this by clicking here.

Binaries and compiled libraries

Binaries are currently compiled and available on the Antelope CD-ROM distributions from Boulder Real-Time Technologies, Inc. (BRTT)

Source code

Source code is currently available under the terms specified here.

To download source code from different releases or the latest and greatest version click here.

Contributions

Contributions to the Antelope software base are currently through arrangement with Gary Pavlis. All contributed software is managed with the Concurrent Version System (CVS), housed at the University of Indiana. For more information on contributing software of general interest to be used with Antelope, contact pavlis@indiana.edu.

Wish List

Recent discussions at the December, 2000 Antelope Users-group meetings have shown the desire for an Antelope Wish-list, i.e. a list a things the collective community would like to see included in the upcoming versions of Antelope. This list has been assembled not by BRTT but by the user community, thus it truly is a wish-list rather than an official reflection of the BRTT Development agenda (i.e. the author of the list is not in a position to make promises about what BRTT will produce next). Nevertheless, BRTT representatives have expressed a willingness to take into consideration what appears here. This list shows programs and capabilities that the community would like to see BRTT or some community member provide. Requests for additions or changes to this list should be directed to Kent Lindquist.

Son-of-dbpick (incl. fast dbmatches; Tcl/Tk waveform-plotting toolkit)
Associator change: ability to examine multiple grids that are not co-located
dbfpfit: a way to create first-motion fault-plane solutions from a database. This includes the need to be able to pick and/or review first-motions by hand.

List of Partially available software

Recent discussions have revealed a number of software programs and packages that have been developed by individual institutions to meet particular needs. In some cases these utilities are of general interest. Often they have not been contributed either because they have been written in a manner that is somewhat parochial, and they need to be tweaked a bit to be of general utility; or they are useful at their host institution but not yet up to appropriate quality levels for the authors to be comfortable releasing them. In a few cases there are utilities that are probably ready for contribution but have not yet been contributed. This list attempts to sketch the known software utilities that have been written at individual networks but not contributed for one reason or another. Hopefully, feedback based on this list will inspire prioritized attempts by the authors to make these programs generally useful and to contribute them. For additions or corrections to this admittedly incomplete list, please contact Kent Lindquist.
