PREREQUISITES
- Microsoft.NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher


GENERAL USAGE NOTES
- Neverwinter nights server browser is a standalone application that can list game servers
  for Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2. This application can also save your
  favourite servers and as well as log a history of previously visited servers.

- Custom connections can be created via the connections tab allowing the user to create
  connections that are not currently listed in the server listings hosted by NWNList Scry.
  Optional lauch conditions can also be applied allowing the user to specify account names
  and passwords for the in game login screen.

- This program was created in the hope that it would help keep the online portion of the
  game active and help new players locate game servers, now that server listings are no
  available within the in game server browser.

- This application has been kept as small as possible and is only a single executable file,
  so no installation is required. Just place the application executable into any folder and run it.

- A huge thanks to the people at NWNList Scry for providing the API to access the server listings.
