I get the same (incorrect) result on Windows:

 size_z =
 
    1099      1

but after running Main_Surf.txt through dos2unix (to convert CR/NL terminated 
lines to just NL terminated lines), I get the correct result

size_z =

   40401       1

Changing the fopen call in read_sfc_simple.m from fopen(name) to 
fopen(name,"rt") and using the original input file did NOT fix the problem.  (I 
had hoped that it would.)
