Specifying Zones With Multiple Structure Fitting

Currently, the ZONE command may only be used with multiple structure fitting when the same zone specification may be applied to every structure. i.e. You cannot specify a zone for each structure separating the zones with a colon (:)

Thus, the following are legal zones:

  ZONE 20-30
  ZONE C,3
while the following are not:
  ZONE 24-34:25-35
  ZONE CAR:VNS
  ZONE 24-34:EIR,11

For normal use, it is recommended that the ALIGN and READALIGN commands (possibly in conjunction with the LIMIT command) are used for specifying zones when fitting multiple structures.
