The manual entries, if you remembered to download the docs tarball, are
full and pretty complete.

If you run
	named-bootconf < named.boot > named.conf
you'll find that the V4 "xfrnets" option has been changed to the V8
       [ allow-transfer { address_match_list }; ]
option.

In named.conf, you should now be able to
	include "file";
where "file" is in the default directory.  In the zone files, you
should still be able to
	$INCLUDE <filename> <opt_domain>

OBTW, convert to 8.2.2.  There may be a few patches announced on this
list in the next couple of weeks; that's typical.  ;-)  The 8.2 series
is better than 8.1.2.
