SEG-Y Rev 1 specifies four coordinate units (short word 45, bytes 89-90):
1 = length (meters or feet)
2 = seconds of arc
3 = decimal degrees
4 = degrees, minutes, seconds (DDDMMSS.ss) 

Rev 0 only allowed 1 and 2 because 32 bit integers were preferred (the only
floating point allowed was IBM).  Thus, latitude and longitude were expressed
in seconds of arc.

SIOSEIS process header may be used to convert arcseconds to decimal degrees.

Overwriting the coordinates and settng the coordinate units 
correctly makes the output file compliant with the SEG-Y standard.

Harder way - determine units scalar, convert coordinates, apply scalar, reset scalar
If the SEG-Y scalar is not honored by the next program, the scalar must be removed.
Use prout parameter indices to print the scalar and units.  e.g.

Scalar -1000 means the arcseconds were multiplied by 1000. before being written
as 32 bit integers in the trace header.  The scalar probably will never change.

Then, convert arcseconds to decimal degress, then divided by the (negated) scalara
