> Is the GSAG format really used ?

What can I say. Because it's a simple format I used to have colleagues that 
used it for I/O of their codes and not rarely it ended up in my hands. But 
can't honestly say it's much used.

GS7BG. In fact GMT can read the simple variations (without breaklines) of this 
somewhat complicated format 


> Can't Surfer export to other formats already handled by GDAL ?

Yes, some. Nc and ArcInfo ascii at least
