What do you think of the electrotelluric survey method
of detecting underground hyrocarbons, claimed by
Amalgamated Explorations 
1-888-999-8787

Hello!
I'm looking for a position as Crane Operator abord a Petroleum Platform.
I'm 33 years old, married and with 10 years experience within building
Companies.
Can you help me?
Any way... thanks a lot!  Bye!  :)
All the best,
Mario Sardo

My company (60 employees-independent E & P-US Gulf Coast onshore and 
offshore offices in Houston and Lafayette, LA) is currently debating the 
pros and cons of internet access by the employees.  Opinions range from: 
"No access allowed; viruses might invade our local area network" "people 
will spend too much time surfing and not enough working" to, "it's the 
greatest need we have-to get and move info quickly."
What I'm looking for here are some good reasons to at least allow net 
access by some if not all our employees.  What can we get from the net 
that is unavailable elsewhere, or would take forever to track down using 
non-net research methods?  Data from the MMS is the one thing i can think 
of right away.  There must be others.  
Any suggestions?

James, I expect his problem is the variable-length records of the 
standard SEG-Y Exabytes.  Some applications/systems just don't like it, 
but can be lied to.  There should be various versions of dd, cpio, or 
the like, for NT, but I don't know of any.  His best bet might be a 
quickie C program to read each section byte by byte - what is it, 800 
bytes for the header, another 3200 for the descriptors...?   (Need more 
coffee...)

I was hoping that it had been read out to tape with tar or dd or cpio.

There are, as far as I know, currently 2 sets of Unix ports to NT.
        1. University of Texas, available from (the top of me head)
             ftp://ftp.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/gnu
        2. Cygnus
             ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/gnu-win32-b17.1/

I'm sure that there are many people out there who have such small utils 
lying around on their hard-disks. Maybe Unix but possible to port? Or 
else, using dd from either the U Texas or Cygnus port to dump from tape 
and then using perl or [g|n]awk ??

Usual case in many companies.

Will outsiders be allowed to ring-in and get access to the system? If 
not this is not an option.

Yay !!

Access to the thousands of well-qualified and experienced E&P; personnel 
on the net who frequent the sci.geo.petroleum newsgroup. Plus the 
thousands of geo-personnel who follow the other sci.geo newsgroups.

Reply and suggestion:
I fully support the interner access in the companies. This is same as
having news paper in the study lounge or in the coffee/lunch room.
There is no difference. However, people who do not have access to
computers in their work environment can spend some net surfing in
their free time. This is just knowledge. One cannot stop it. However,
where ever there is a chance for breach of security on the trade
secrets, restrictions can always be made electronically.

I surprised to see such articles. I sincerely agree with Jim.
