Thanks Larry,
I use Vase frequently to download files from USIN and even Wyandotte
Cave seismic sites to compare to my Winquake files. The number of "small
quakes" or fracking incidences is increasing locally and I get the
feeling St. Louis and Memphis seismic centers aren't interested in
following up on mag 1 and 2s

I am very satisfied with Winquake. My main "squeeze" is wave form.

I downloaded the documentation and will try to digest it. I am still
learning the Vase program but I have learned to acquire data in
particular time frames from specific sites and instruments. Earthworm
may not be exactly what I had in mind. I understand triangulation.

I see some USArray data on St. Louis (Central US network and New
Madrid). Even without the array sites (only about 4 operational here
right now), I have over 20 sites to chose from using the New Madrid,
Kentucky USGS and IU network sites. I have imposed on the St. Louis (New
Madrid) seismologists to locate a quake for me a couple of times but I
realized I need to climb to new challenges. Thanks
