Hi Jerry,  "I Think"................Q 1        The p and s and other =
phases if you use them are all based on (time theory)  =20
The math program knows where you are and where the event took place, it =
converts that info to Miles, also to Degrees.
It then uses one of several formulas, I use the default formula, to =
place the p and s on a time line, which is on the bottom of the Winquake =
screen.

Q2.........The distance is "around the surface" like a string on a =
globe.   This is all "great circle" math.

So the program is simple for this part, because, it take the event Long. =
and Lat,  your Long. and Lat, the time of the event, does the math (the =
p travels about 10km per second), I calculate it is about 28,000 miles =
per hour, and figure it would take the P, say  12.002 minute to reach =
you, add that, to the event time, and places the P on your screen =
accordingly.

It does not read you recording,  you could have recorded a truck or a =
train and if the event matched your train in would place the p and s, on =
the time line.

Is this clear???????????????????   Ted

  (Question 1):    On a WinQuake event display are the P and S arrival =
times showning the ACTUAL arrival times or shown according to what the =
table says they should be?

  (Question 2):    Is the distance from the event to your seismograph =
computed "through the earth" or "around the surface?"

  Thank you,
