     SFOUTF

     SFOUTF is the output surface data file.

     SFOUTF is used in programs which create a new surface data file.  
     It is also used in programs in which data is moved from an input 
     file to an output file, in which case, SFFILE is the original file.

     When used with program NAMSND, SFOUTF can be used to specify two
     output surface files.  This is done by appending a + to the output 
     file name.  In this case, the second file will have the same name 
     as the first, with the suffix _aux.  The second file will contain 
     surface data for the diagnostic or overflow parameters listed in 
     the auxiliary surface packing file (described in SFPRMF).  For 
     example,

		SFOUTF = new.sfc+

     will create output files new.sfc and new.sfc_aux, if both a primary
     and an auxiliary surface packing file have been provided.
