Hi Arie,

Also part of the IASPEI software package is a DOS program called XRTP.
This is a data logging program, but it also has some event location
capabilities. One advantage is its written in C, not FORTRAN like
Hypoellipse. I started too pull out the location code but stopped after
finding out it only works with local events. I figured if I was going to
spend the time adding this to WinQuake I would try and find something that
could be used for all type of events...

If you get something working please let me know. I'll see if I can add it
to WinQuake. I will send you the source code in a private email message.
