Byteorder problem detected
in some NCSN waveform files
March 12, 1999
We recently discovered that we loaded 33,933 grm files onto the NCEDC in the WRONG BYTE ORDER. These events were inadvertently stored in VAX byte order instead of Sun byte order. The list of eventids can be found in the file
~dcmgr/byteswap.error/cuspid.16bit.log
The grm file have now been renamed with a ".unknown" suffix on the jukebox until we can correct this error. In the meantime, if you have downloaded any of these events, the data will be in the wrong byteorder. We apologize for this SNAFU.
Note: this problem was resolved on October 20, 1999.
