The SurferManipulator
About
The SurferManipulator is a stand-alone VisualBasic program for manipulation of Surfer for Windows grid files and point cloud files. Most functions require Surfer for Windows (Golden Software) to be installed on the computer.
Every now and again I will put the latest version of SurferManipulator here for users to download.
