FREE SEP SOFTWARE PACKAGES

SEP offers the following free software packages on its web page. Each item is documented in more detail on an HTML page at the SEP web site.

• ReDoc Rules: The Reproducible Document Rules are makefile rules that implement a consistent and simple interface for deleting and recomputing a document's results. The ReDoc rules work best with an updated version of GNU make, which we also offer on our web site. Additionally, we distribute make rules for the compilation, linking, and installation of programs.
• SEPlib: SEPlib is SEP's processing system. It currently consists of the traditional SEP77 part that deals with regular data geometry and a new SEP90 part that handles irregular data geometry. SEPlib also contains an entire graphics package, called vplot, and extensive I/O routines.
• L^ATEXmacros: The TEX web page includes SEP's local L^ATEX macros, e.g. the activeplot macro that includes figures and pushbuttons into our online L^ATEX documents.
• SEP Scripts: The SEP shell scripts serve many purposes: some test a reproducible document, others print a L^ATEX document. If nothing else, they might serve as sample Perl scripts.
• Xtpanel: Xtpanel is SEP's language of choice for scripting simple graphical user interfaces.
• Ratfor: Ratfor is a preprocessor for FORTRAN code that allows us to use C-like flow expressions. Jon Claerbout believes that Ratfor is the best available expository language for mathematical algorithms. Ratfor is widely used by SEP researchers.
