Circle in general has a real nasty limitation with regards
to zones; namely.. they all hafta start at xxx00
ie: one can't create foo.zon that has the vnum range 5555-5559
and foo2.zon with vnums 5560-5590
circle insists that the first vnum of any zone start at
<arbitrary zone-number>*100
It would be advantageous to replace the 'zone numbers' with 'zone
names', and have two member variables for each zone element; a start vnum
and an end vnum -- then a zone can be as small as 1 unit, so a
15-component zone doesn't have to throw away 84 vnums.
as far as oasis.. iirc it can expand the top of the zone beyond 100 nums
or reduce it to less than a hundred , but zones always have to start at
a x-hundreds number, compliments of circle in general<snick>
