There is no legal way. There are tools to convert such maps into free formats, but all public references get threatened by lawyers. Thus you might ask in public forums, you will get stupid public answers and maybe one of the tool authors has mercy and will contact you privately. > > The second item is this: I`ve also got a folder with lots of > PNG&worldfiles.

Save reference points to get a *gcp file. That will give you a clue how to create your own one. Another approach I prefer is to use gdal on the console. With a little bit of python scripting you can automate the whole conversion process. Not sure if GDAL can read png on windows. Have a look into QLGT about dialog to find out. If it can you can use gdalwarp to convert the png and worldfiles into something sane like geotiff.
