Hi Chris,

I don't advocate poor timing, but because it sometimes happens my HYPOELLIPSE
program for locating regional earthquakes in Alaska allowed stations to 
provide P and
S times that would be used only for their S minus P interval.  If all of 
the available
stations had only the S minus P interval, then it was still possible to 
compute the
latitude, longitude, depth, and spatial error ellipsoid, but the origin 
time remained
unknown.

Cheers,
John
