Stephen,
WinQuake uses the following formula to calculate mb magnitude
mb = log10(A/T) + 0.01*D + 5.9
A = Peak P wave displacement amplitude in micrometers, T = Period of the displacement
amplitude and D = Distance in degrees
See http://www.eas.purdue.edu/~braile/edumod/as1mag/as1mag3.pdf for more information.
