- Surfer always sets the blanking flag to 1 when digitizing. Open the BLN file in the worksheet, set the blanking flag value of cell B1 to 0, and save the changes.
- Another method is to use a script BlankOutside.bas to read the file and write out the first line with the blanking flag set to 0.
Run the Surfer Scripter with the Windows Start | Programs | Golden Software Surfer 8 | Scripter menu command, open the file with the File | Open command, and run the script with the Script | Run command.
'BlankOutside.bas reads a BLN file and changes the
' blanking flag on the first line to 0.

Sub Main
file1 = GetFilePath(,"bln","c:\incoming\","Enter BLN File Name")
Debug.Print file1
If file1 = "" Then End
file2 = Left(file1,Len(file1)-4)+"BlankOutside.bln"
Open file1 For Input As #1
Open file2 For Output As #2
Line Input #1,a
a = Left(a,Len(a)-1) + "0"
Print #2,a
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, a
Print #2,a
Wend
MsgBox(file2+" has been created")
End Sub

An easy way to remember this is 1=blank Inside, and 0=blank outside so 1=I and 0=O
