> Dear Bob:
>
> OASIS montaj v4.3 has new and enhanced applications
> for geophysicists, geochemists and geologists -- with
> shared capabilities for all disciplines via the
> OASIS montaj DPA core. There are also changes for
> programmers (i.e. GX Developer). Some highlights follow

>
> v4.3 SHARED CAPABILITIES (OASIS montaj core)
>
> * CAD Tools for Creating Onscreen Interpretations
> (i.e. polygonizing, patterned lines and fills, clipboard,
> "snap-to-lines", etc.). Also gives the ability to
> arrange layering order using a new View / Group Manager,
> customize line attributes including geologic faults
> and other patterns, apply smooth line rendering, and
> apply automated pattern colouring to one or more
> "geologic" polygons using an Eye dropper.
>
> * Changed Projection Wizard. Projection Interface has been
> simplified.
>
> * Memory Management and Performance (improvements for
> large processes, database and grid compression, and
> MAGMAP performance improvements).
>
> * Third-Party Integration including clipboard support for cutting
> and pasting text, bitmap and vector graphics (Windows
> metafile and encapsulated postscript) to/from databases
> and/or maps.
>
> * GIS Interfaces. Om now provides tools to import and work with
> data from both main GIS systems including ArcView (v4.3) and
> MapInfo (v4.2). ArcView support includes tools for exporting
> Om maps to ArcView shape files, importing shape files, working
> with ArcView binary raster grids, and exporting to GEOTIFF
> files.
>
> * Map Export, Plot Profiles to a Map, CGM Plotting, GEOTIFF and
> Generalized ASCII Grid Import. Export maps to image formats using
> either Screen or Grid resolution. Set up single profiles in the
> Profile window to the desired output scale and plot them to a map).
> Support for CGM output and GEOTIFF read / write (previously only a
> read capability).
>
> * E-Maps. Select a map and click on the right mouse button to
> access an option for emailing the map. A receiving user can
> double-click on the map and automatically start OASIS montaj
> and open the map.
>
> * New Mapping Capabilities. New Lat / Long <--> Local X, Y GX
> enables users to specify a known location at X, Y location
> and a grid rotation angle, and converts Lat / Long to local
> coordinates and back. Another new GX is NEWMAPLL GX
> which creates Lat / Long basemaps based on a lat /
> long range. This GX also automatically sets up curved clip
> window and positions the map centre.
>
> * Menu Simplification. New menu layout organizes capabilities
> related to data, profiles, maps, etc. in logical order. Also
> able to selectively add and remove menus.
>
> * Database Management and Handling. Search and replace, sort by
> two channels, array channels and basic windowing tools,
> metadata (i.e. workspace comments), statistics summary reporting
> of a selected list of channels of all selected lines in the
> current database, and the ability to merge databases.
>
> * Internet Aware Technology. Download and install service packs
> from Help Menu, access www.geosoft.com, email to Tech Support
> and automatic generation of email for abort logs.
>
> * Online Documentation. GX Help is completely re-written with
> images and expanded description where possible. New PDF manuals
> and upgraded manuals reflect interface and functionality changes.
> The searchable Online Help has also been re-designed for easier
> navigation and almost every topic in the system has been enhanced.
>
>
> SPECIALIZED CAPABILITIES FOR GEOPHYSICISTS
>
> * New Gravity Processing and Terrain Correction application. This
> system provides capabilities required to process and reduce
> gravity data from conventional ground surveys. It has a special
> optimized terrain reduction algorithm that delivers accuracy and
> performance for even very large data sets.
>
> Processing capabilities include the ability to specify project
> information, perform base station corrections, working with
> calibration data, importing with X and Y location data for data
> merging, applying drift corrections including atmospheric tide
> corrections, processing repeats and calculating Free Air and
> Bouguer anomaly values.
>
> Terrain correction capabilities include import of a Digital
> Elevation Model (DEM) or gridded elevation data set, calculation
> of regional corretions and calculation of local corrections. For
> users interested in Terrain corrections, your Geosoft representative
> will have an abstract describing the method available at release
> time.
>
> * New IP Processing and Presentation application. This system
> provides capabilities required to transform Time- and
> Frequency-domain data into professional presentations for
> interpretation and decision-making.
>
> Processing capabilities include processing time-domain and
> frequency-domain from various survey configurations, handling
> different IP file types and instrument dump formats, reducing
> raw IP data, and performing interactive quality control using
> a new QC tool.
>
> Presentation capabilities include adding topographic information
> and plotting topography-adjusted pseudosections (not a modeled
> correction), plotting values in pseudosection format, and
> plotting stacked pseduosections (i.e. line by line, offset
> pseudosections).
>
> * New Trend Enhanced Gridding utility. A traditional problem in
> gridding geophysical data is the aliasing problem that occurs
> due to the presence of more samples along the lines than across
> them. This leads to obvious effects including "beads" or
> "ellipsoidal beads" between lines in gridded data. There are
> various solutions to these problems such as filtering or
> gridding along trend directions but these can reduce
> geologic signal or may be ineffective for local trends.
>
> Geosoft's new algorithm is designed to provide a solution that
> preserves the character of local trends while eliminating
> aliasing effects. The utility processes a grid using various
> parameters (including trend direction, line separation, etc.) and
> extracts trend lines to a database for interactive manipulation.
> When ready, the user re-grids the data based on the resulting
> optimized trend lines.
>
> * Upgraded Radiometrics Processing application with 256 Channel
> Handling and Windowing.
>
> Specific capabilites include the ability to import 256 channel
> data into an "array" channel and window full spectrum data to
> create channels for K, U, Th and TC. The user then implements
> the standard processing sequence including deadtime / livetime
> and altitude corrections, removing background contributions,
> removing spectral overlapping and height attenuation, and
> converting data to apparent radioelement concentrations and
> ratios. The data can then be presented in OASIS montaj.
>
> * Specialized capabilities in Om core. A short list includes
> a Grid Edge GX that draws the edges of a grid or creates a
> polygon file from the edges, 1D-FFT now in user's coordinate
> space (instead of only fiducials), Grid Info GX that provides
> the ability to change a grid header in a single GX
> (i.e. eliminates GRIDHEAD GX), and many more that we will
> summarize for release.
>
>
> SPECIALIZED CAPABILITIES FOR GEOCHEMISTS
>
> Geosoft has made major enhancements to its CHIMERA Exploration
> Geochemistry application. Areas of enhancement include
> data management, quality control, geochemical utilities,
> mapping, analysis tools and multivariate analysis, and
> Principle Components analysis, synthesis and mapping.
>
> Highlights include a new generation of interactive tools
> such as interactive standards and duplicate plotting,
> correlation coefficient, dynamic display of scatterplots
> from correlation coefficient window, and multiple scatterplot
> display. Menus have also been streamlined for easier use
> and expanded symbol plotting and map digitization added.
>
>
> SPECIALIZED CAPABILITIES FOR GEOLOGISTS
>
> CAD Tools are an important highlight for geologists -- enabling
> one-stop integration of multi-disciplinary data and information,
> and creation of interpretation maps for decision-making.
>
> Other enhancements include an extended series of capabilities
> for the WHOLEPLOT Drillhole Data Plotting and Presentation
> application. Changes are designed to make this application
> work more seamlessly in OASIS montaj (with Geosoft or user-
> selected fonts, fill patterns, change of section origin
> definition, flexible specification of map width and height,
> improved default scaling and expanded gridding options).
>
> Documentation has been re-written to simplify
> terminology, streamline plotting instructions, and
> provide a more complete description of processing and
> presentation capabilities.
>
>
> v4.3 GX DEVELOPER TOOLKIT AND THIRD-PARTY SUPPORT
>
> Note that more technical information about the following
> will be provided at a later date.
>
> * New capabilities. The GX Developer toolkit has approximately
> doubled based on the new functions implemented in v4.3.
>
> * Upgraded documentation. The manual has been almost
> completely rewritten with new conceptual material and
> examples.
>
> * Public Domain Application Programming Interface. Database
> access is moving to the public domain and there is a new
> GDB API.
