Antelope Version 4.9 Release News
June 1, 2007
A change in the way fonts are handled led to an incompatible late change to the dbe parameter file .dbe.pf. Previously, fonts were named explicitly with very long unix style names; the new style uses arguments like -family, -size, and -weight. If you have a personal .dbe.pf file and switch to the new format, you will have difficulty running earlier versions of dbe. The Nanometrics Trillium and the Guralp response files were corrected according to updated manufacturer specs. The Q330 response files were updated to include the time offset for the fir filters. Joe Steim provided official offsets which are now embedded into the filters. Since these were not properly defined in previous distributions, you should update your database by running dbbuild again. If you provide dataless seed volumes to the DMC, you should then create new volumes using mk_dataless_seed. These updated dataless seed should be sent to the DMC.
