- These are some of the other important files that the host needs
- XYPLAN.DAT
- SHIPXY.DAT
- You must move these files to the new host or the new host will
- have no idea who owns what. This is what caused all those
- "Planet ... doesn't belong to player ... "
- "Ship ... doesn't belong to player ..."
