I can understand that. But there are other steps that I detailed there
beyond changing shipping.asc

No, you don't need a shipping.gdbm file (or, at least I don't have one)
But, I suspect you need a gdbm file for your flat rate file.

Or, perhaps this works and is easier::::

(This is an excerpt from my shipping.asc:

uspsexp Express Mail    weight  0       0       e Nothing to ship!
uspsexp Express Mail    weight  0       0.5     12.45           {}
uspsexp Express Mail    weight  0.5     2       16.25           {}
uspsexp Express Mail    weight  2       3       19.15           {}
uspsexp Express Mail    weight  3       4       22.05           {}
................ etc.

I suspect that if I change the 0.5 in this second line to something
like 1000 that 12.45 would be applied to everything.

So: I am suggesting that in shipping.asc that you put:

flatrate Flat Rate    weight  0       0       e Nothing to ship!
flatrate Flat Rate    weight  0       1000     12.45           {}

(Make sure that tabs separate those fields!)

In country.txt put something like:

TZ      TZ      flatrate   Tanzania
UA      UA      flatrate   Ukraine

I recommend going into the admin interface and click on the 'apply
changes' option, and also restart the IC server.
