Module Description:
This is a simple module based on the earthworm pager output module. It was originally used at the WC/ATWC for a printout of locations made at the regional centers. When printouts were discontinued, the code was used to log hypocenters to disk for use in the EarthVu GIS. The magnitude threshold of logged quakes can be set in the initialization file.

Graphical Interface:
This module has no graphical interface. Hypocenters and some errors are logged to the Windows console, if created.
