How to convert .mif to .hex for ModelSim-Altera?

Question

Hi all,
I tried save as by Quartus. The resulting .hex seems pretty large. Although I don't really know how Intel .hex file format. Opening the .hex file shows correct contents in Quartus.
But ModelSim "mem load" command gives error:
# (vsim-3632) Illegal character ':' for radix 'hexadecimal' on line 1 of file "../../src_data/SingleCable.hex".
.mif head

Quartus save as .hex file head in hex editor

Please comment,
Thanks,

In Quartus, I would just open up the .mif, create a new .hex with the appropriate word size and length, and do a copy and paste.
