Select a File Type

Select a recognized file type from the Select a file type list.

Show All Formats

When the Select Format dialog first opens, Surfer appends the list of supported file types to the most likely file type for the selection. If the desired file type is not in the short list, check the Show all formats box and the list will include all supported file types. If the file type is not in the list, you will not be able to use the file directly. Save the file in another program as a different format.
