Break out your trusty EDLIN line editor, write a little script, and run your 
FILES.BBS through it replacing the "[ 0]" with "".  
A better answer would be for me to add a switch to UNCON179 that dispenses 
with counters. Give me a day or so.  
It's just that when we had a "plain" UNCON which only produced an "old" 
FILES.BBS, the whole MEADOW wanted the "fancy" UNCON. Times change :-)
