NETPROG Stereographic Analysis Application
|
|
NETPROG is a 32-bit Delphi
4 program designed for the statistical analysis of geological structure
data via equal-area or equal-angle stereographic projections. NETPROG is
"freeware" for academic use, "shareware" for commercial
or government use. See the help file for details on registration policy.
This latest version has many enhancements over the older (see below)
Windows XP version. To download this latest copy as a self-extracting ZIP
file, click on the below link. Also see the below notes on installing
NETPROG. NETPROG has been tested on Windows 3.x, 2000, NT, XP, and 7.x OS
platforms with no major issues.

BRIEF INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: If you click on the above
download link you will receive a file named "NET.EXE". This is a
ZIP archive self-extracting program file. You should create a folder on
your hard disk (I suggest "STEREONET") that will contain the
application program and supporting files. Copy the "NET.EXE" file
to this folder with file explorer, and then double-click on the file name
to execute the self-extracting program. This will create the NETPROG
application (NETPROG.EXE) and supporting files in your new folder. Several
example files with the file name extension "TXT" are included, so
execute "NETPROG.EXE" by double-clicking on the name, and use the
"File" > "Open" menu command to open one of the
example data files. You will then see the data in the editor grid. From the
main application window menu select "RUN" > "Process data".
You should then see a stereographic projection image on the screen. You may
need to minimize the data grid window to see the plot. This is all that is
necessary to install and test your installed copy. To add an application
icon to your desktop for easy access, highlight the "NETPROG.EXE"
file name in file explorer and select "Edit" >
"copy" from the menu. Now minimize file explorer so that the
desktop is visible. Right click on the desktop and select the "Paste
shortcut" option. The NETPROG application icon will be deposited on
the desktop. When you need to use NETPROG, simply double-click on this
icon. Note that these install directions will not add a link to NETPROG in
the START menu; see your Windows documentation to set up this type of link.
The NETPROG help file is “Netprog_Help.pdf”
in Adobe Reader format, so to access it you will need the free
down-loadable reader from the Adobe web site (i.e. do a web search for
“Adobe Reader”). The latest version of the help file is by
default loaded by the program from the author’s web site, however, if this access is not possible you can
open the “Netprog_Help.pdf” file
directly with the reader application.

Crossbed Paleocurrent Application
(Crossbed.exe)
|
|
“Crossbed.exe” is a windows application program
designed for the analysis of cross-bedding data for determination of
paleocurrent direction in multi-deformed orogenic belts. The program uses a
2-step retro-deformation rotation procedure to (1) rotate primary bedding
to be co-planar to regional “Sheet-dip” (Whiten, 1968) and
applying the same rotation to associated foreset bedding attitudes, and
then (2) rotate primary bedding to original depositional horizontal and
applying the same rotation to foreset beds.
The application program basically applies the 2-step rotation to
data to produce a rotated data set that can be used as input into the
NETPROG stereographic application (see above). For the details regarding
installing, running and registering the program, see the included help file
(see below link).

on the screen. This data set is the “Bulls Gap” example
discussed in the CROSSBED help file (Crossbed_Help.pdf) . Use the settings documented in the help document to
test the program. This is all that is necessary to install and test your
installed copy of the program.
