			PITSA uses a data format designed towards the needs of
			earthquake seismology. In addition, the input of plain
			ASCII and SEED files is possible.
			  PITSA contains a menu based user interface, utilizing
			dialog boxes and pop-up menus.
			Please note that there are two tar binary files: one is SOURCE
			Code bundled, called PITSA.source.tar.Z , and the other is the
			executable, out-of-the-box variety, called PITSA.tar.Z.
