This was done off the trunk version. As far as I can tell, it looks like all 3 surfer formats are working properly now, both for reading and writing (in the two that allow writing). I looked at bug #1616 - it looks like hte problem was writing ascii files, but not writing binary (GSAG was bad, GSBG was good). With this fix, it seems okay. I made a couple of decisions with this - First, for reading, I took option 1 (where I actually end up reading the file 2x if needed, although it's done as needed, not on ""Open""). Second - for writing, I fixed CreateCopy(), and removed the Create() method. The Create() method was actually crashing, and didn't make much sense for an ascii file driver that needs to have the data in place since it's written ""upside down"" when compared with other GDAL formats. This seemed to make a lot more sense to me. Please let me know if you need anything else to get this into the system. This will fix bugs #2191 and (I believe) also fixes #1616.
