When a new Survo data file is created by FILE SAVE, space for fields is
automatically allocated according to the number and types of fields in
the text file. If the number of fields is m and the total length needed
for them is len, FILE SAVE creates a Survo data file with a capacity for
1.25*len+20 bytes and 1.25*m+4 fields in one record (observation).

This default setting is bypassed by a specification
NEWSPACE=<extra_length_of_record>,<extra_#_of_variables> 
For example NEWSPACE=0,0 creates a Survo data file with no extra space
for new variables.
