Hi,

I am a software developer, and if you give me examples of all eventualities,
maybe I can create a program that can correct them with the intended substitute
signs. But then again, replacement can be done with programs as simple as
Notepad, too.

What exactly is wrong with the files? Please list all wrong elements and their
correct counterparts, maybe then I can understand better.

Also, have you tried other file versions of those areas, like DEM files?
