ZFORMAT is a handle to Zeolite variables with a variable type of VarID_format. 
This data handle is widely used in the 'zformat_' and 'zmap_' API functions, and may be wrapped by the CzFormat class.
You may safely cast between ZFORMAT and ZVAR. Casting does not change the variable type referenced by the handle.
In Zeolite_defines.h:
typedef ZVAR ZFORMAT;
