[Opensim-users] save/load xml region

PNG does not work for terrain load-tile functions.  It has to be a R32 
or F32 file.    I wish I would have kept the email reply that I received 
concerning that.    (you can use PNG for terrain load, but that works 
for a single region only and you have to change-region before issuing 
the command).

I used L3DT to create my land and create the RAW file.   I believe it 
can be used to create a RAW file from PNG.  Just remember to follow the 
directions about exporting a raw from L3DT (i didn't follow them at 
first duh!).    I did not create PNG files.  I used the generating 
functions in L3DT to start my terrain.  I then used its 3D editor to 
customize the terrain.   I also used the heightfield operation "change 
vert. scale" to adjust the terrain.
