When I took an early retirement in 1990 from IBM I joined the staff at the State University of New York at Binghamton working with Francis Wu and Jeff Barker.
If you would like to use the Windows program, Seismic/Eruption, you can fetch it here: seisvole.readme and seisvole.exe.
The program displays both earthquakes and volcanoes. The database of volcanism is from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution.
When the program is running, the user sees lights, which represent earthquakes, flashing on the screen in speeded-up time. The user can control the speed of the action. In addition, the program can show seismicity under the earth in three-dimensional and cross-sectional views.
Seismic/Eruption is also available for download from the IRIS Seismic Software Library web site (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology).
Seismic/Eruption has shaded terrain images which are saved-screen images. If you want to create your own images, you can do this by fetching the file etopo5.zip. WARNING: It is very large (about 18 megabytes).
A world hypocenter file for Prof. Wu's Geology 214 class can be fetched: world45.zip.
It is possible to add new events by using the SPYDER facility at the IRIS Electronic Bulletin Board

The file readme lists recent changes in the RunScore program and specifies the latest version.
You can fetch the DOS-Extended executable rs.zip. This is password protected. If you have paid for an update within the past year, you can fetch this file for no charge. Otherwise, you can fetch for a charge of $20. Or, for $30 you can fetch the file and, in addition, will have the complete package sent to you. For an additional $15 you can also obtain the manual. To obtain the password, send me e-mail:
