To replace to QQ's in the .wld files is pretty simple actually. In vi do:
:%s/QQ/##/g
eg:
:%s/QQ/30/g search and replace all of the QQ's with 30.
With ## being the zone number you want. It's been about a year since I've
done this, so please refer to a unix reference book or an online help guide
for
the exact syntax. The g = global. If you do it without the g, it will
search and replace
only the first occurance.
%s = search and replace.
Good luck,
Tom Dailey
