 +======Server List Format in EPIC======
 +
 +There are several ways to set a predefined list of servers for EPIC to use.
 +In general, though, they all use the same basic format:
 +
 +   server:port:password:nickname
 +
 +The server is the name of the server to connect to.  The port is the port
 +number on the server's host to connect on.  The password is only required
 +for servers that require one to connect.  The nickname is the nick to use
 +once connected to the server.  Only the server name is required.  The
 +remaining parameters may be specified as needed.  For example, to ignore
 +the password and nickname parameters:
 +
 +   server:port
 +
 +As parameters on the end are omitted, the colons separating them too are
 +omitted.  However, if a parameter in the "middle" is left out, but one that
 +comes after it is specified, the colons are required.  If you only wanted
 +to give a server and nickname:
 +
 +   server:::nickname
 +
 +A list of servers can exist in several forms.  The primary list is hardcoded
 +into the client.  It is usually overridden by a systemwide irc servers file
 +(usually called ircII.servers).  Any number of server definitions may be
 +specified, separated by whitespace (newline, space, tab).  A typical server
 +file might look like:
 +
 +   irc.foobar.com
 +   irc.blah.net:6668
 +   irc.cia.gov:31337:cl00bie:Mr_Prez
 +
 +The system server list may be overridden by your IRCSERVER environment
 +variable, which may contain a space-delimited list of servers:
 +
 +   export IRCSERVER="irc.foobar.com irc.cia.gov:31337::Mr_Prez"
 +
 +Finally, a list of servers may also be specified on the command line:
 +
 +   irc Mr_Prez irc.foobar.com irc.cia.gov:31337:secret-password
 +
 +======Note:=====
 +Addresses containing colons (IPv6 addresses) should be surrounded in
 +square brackets to avoid the colon being interpeted as an argument
 +seperator.
