== Zone.dat format ==

For each zone an entry like this must exist.

The last field indicates that [[Continuum]] will not warn you are entering a non-[[SSC]] zone. This is changed to 1 if you tick the box do not warn me again in Continuum. The unknown field often seems to contain a dns name for some zones such as "server.trenchwars.org" for Trench Wars.

<pre>
<Zone name>,<Zone ip>,<Zone port>,<unknown dns (can be left blank)>,<Warn non-SSC zone>
#<description>
</pre>

Example:

<pre>
PSSF Kitty Girls!!!,64.79.194.184,5000,,1
#Kitty Girls for all!
