NAME

       zwgc - Zephyr Windowgram Client program

SYNOPSIS

       zwgc  [  -reenter  ] [ -nofork ] [ -ttymode ] [ -f filename ] [ -subfile filename ] [ -loc
       text ] [ -default portname ] [ -disable portname ] ... [  output  driver  options  ]  [  X
       Toolkit options... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Zwgc  is  the  main  zephyr(1)  client.   It  is responsible for receiving selected zephyr
       notices on behalf of the user, formatting them, and displaying them using one or  more  of
       the output devices.

   Selection of Zephyr Notices
       Zwgc  subscribes  to  various  notice  classes  and instances on behalf of the user.  Only
       notices in the subscription list will be received.  The subscription list is  composed  of
       the  default  subscriptions (stored on the server), the user's subscriptions file, and any
       subscriptions  made  using  zctl(1).    The   user's   subscription   file   defaults   to
       $HOME/.zephyr.subs,  or it can be specified with the -subfile option.  If "-" is specified
       as the subscription filename, the subscriptions will be read from standard input.

       The zctl command is used to manipulate and change subscriptions.  See the zctl(1) man page
       for details.

   Zephyr Description Files
       Zwgc  formats  its output messages according to the commands in its description file.  The
       user's description file ($HOME/.zwgc.desc by default, or whatever is specified by  -f)  is
       read, or the system file is read if the user's does not exist.

       Every  time a notice is received, zwgc runs through the description file, and executes the
       appropriate commands.

   Zephyr Description File Syntax
       A description file is simply a list of  commands.   Whitespace  (spaces,  tabs,  and  line
       breaks)  is  used to separate tokens.  The type and amount of whitespace separating tokens
       is irrelevant.  Comments can be delimited by # and newline  (for  line-oriented  comments,
       e.g.  "#  this  is  a  comment"  on  a line by itself) or by /* and */ (e.g. "/* this is a
       comment */").

DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

   Expressions
       Expressions are used by  certain  commands.   They  are  composed  from  string  literals,
       variable  references,  function calls, and operators.  Parentheses can be used anywhere in
       an expression to group expressions or increase readability.

       String literals are specified by putting the contents in "double quotes".

       Variables are set using the set command (see "COMMANDS", below).  They are  referenced  in
       an  expression  by  using  the  form $varname.  Some variables are set by default for each
       notice.  All other variables retain their values between notice interpretations,  so  that
       if you set a variable, it retains that value until later modified.

       Functions  are  called  using  a  C-like  syntax,  fname(expr1,expr2),  where fname is the
       function name and exprn are the arguments.

       Binary operators use infix notation, such as "a == b".

       Some commands use an expression list (exprlist), which is  simply  a  set  of  expressions
       separated by whitespace (e.g. $var1 "lit1" $var2).

   Default variables
       The following variables are always available:

       1, ...
            Numeric  variables are assigned values corresponding to that field in the notice (the
            body of each notice is conceptually an array of fields, each terminated with  a  null
            character).   If  the  number  is  greater  than the number of fields actually in the
            notice, the value is "".  For example, the standard zwrite messages have two  fields:
            $1 is the signature, and $2 is the text of the message.

       auth An  indication  of  the  authenticity  of  the  notice.   ``yes'' means the notice is
            authentic, ``no'' means it is not, and ``forged'' means that the message  claimed  to
            be  authentic  but  the  verification of the claim failed.  The ``forged'' indication
            usually appears when a user has changed his Kerberos tickets with  kinit(1)  but  has
            not run ``zctl sub'' to register this change with the Zephyr servers.

       class
            The class of the current notice.

       date The date on which the notice was sent.

       default
            The default output format for the current notice

       error
            An error message from the port read/write commands.

       fromhost
            The  full  name of the host from which the notice appears to have been sent.  This is
            not fully reliable, as the  information  used  to  determine  this  hostname  is  not
            guaranteed to be correct (even for authentic messages).

       fullsender
            The notice sender's name, including the zephyr realm name.

       instance
            The instance of the current notice.

       kind The kind of notice.

       message
            The full text of the message, with nulls converted to newlines.

       number_of_fields
            The number of fields in the message (a string representation of a decimal number).

       opcode
            The opcode of the current notice.

       output_driver
            The name of the output driver in use.

       port The port from which the notice was sent.

       realm
            The local zephyr realm.

       recipient
            The  recipient for the current notice.  If the notice is a multicast (sent to several
            people), the recipient is set to ``*''.

       sender
            Usually a shortened version of fullsender.  If the realm of the sender  is  equal  to
            the realm of the recipient, sender omits the realm name.

       time The time of day at which the notice was sent.

       user The full zephyr name of the user (e.g. marc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU).

       version
            The current version of zwgc.

       zephyr_version
            The protocol version of the notice.

       All  of  these  variables (except for error, output_driver, and version) are re-set before
       each notice is processed.

   Functions
       Following is a list of functions available for use in the description file.

       buffer()
            The contents of the current output buffer.

       downcase(expr)
            Returns the value of expr, converted to lower case.

       get(expr)
            Returns a line from the port named expr.  If there is no text  waiting  on  the  port
            (e.g.  the  program  connected to the port has not printed any output), this function
            will wait until it can read a line of text from the port.

       getenv(expr)
            Returns the value of the environment variable expr, or the empty string  if  it  does
            not exist.

       lany(expr1, expr2), rany(expr1, expr2)
            Return  a number of characters equal to the length of expr2 from the beginning (lany)
            or end (rany) of expr1 (e.g. lany("1234567890","foo") would return "123").  If  expr1
            is  a variable reference, the variable is modified to remove the characters returned.
            If expr2 is longer than expr1, the value of expr1 is returned (and expr1  is  set  to
            "", if a variable).

       lbreak(expr1, expr2), rbreak(expr1, expr2)
            Expr2 defines a set of characters.  The function returns the longest initial (lbreak)
            or final (rbreak) string from expr1 composed of characters  not  in  this  set  (e.g.
            lbreak("characters",   "tuv")  would  return  "charac").   If  expr1  is  a  variable
            reference, the variable is  modified  to  remove  the  characters  returned.   If  no
            characters  in expr2 are in expr1, then expr1 is returned (and expr1 is set to "", if
            a variable).

       lspan(expr1, expr2), rspan(expr1, expr2)
            These functions are the negation of the break functions; the returned string consists
            of characters in the set defined by expr2

       protect(expr)
            Returns a string which will be evaluated identically to expr, but will not affect any
            surrounding  environments.   That  is,  any  characters  which  could  close  outside
            environments are quoted, and any environments in expr which are not closed at the end
            are closed.

       substitute(expr)
            Evaluates variable references of the form $variable in expr and converts $$ to $.

       upcase(expr)
            Returns the value of expr, converted to upper case.

       verbatim(expr)
            Returns a string that will be displayed exactly as expr looks.  Anything which  could
            be mistaken for an environment is quoted.

       stylestrip(expr)
            Returns expr with all environments stripped out.

       zvar(expr)
            Returns  the  value  of  the zephyr variable expr, or the empty string if it does not
            exist.  [Zephyr variables can be set and examined with zctl(1).]

   Operators
       Following is a list of operators which can be used in  the  description  file  to  compose
       expressions:

       expr1 + expr2
              String concatenation of expr1 and expr2

       expr1 == expr2
              True if the two expressions are equal, false otherwise.

       expr1 =~ expr2
              True if the regular expression pattern expr2 matches expr1.

       expr1 !~ expr2
              Negation of "=~".

       expr1 != expr2
              Negation of "=="

       expr1 and expr2, expr1 & expr2
              True if expr1 and expr2 are both true.

       expr1 or expr2, expr1 | expr2
              True if either of expr1 or expr2 are true.

       ! expr1, not expr1
              The logical negation of expr1.

   Commands
       Following is a list of the commands usable in the description language:

       appendport expr1 expr2
            Creates  a  port  called  expr1.  All output to the port will be appended to the file
            expr2.  There is no input.  If the file is created, its mode is  set  to  read-write,
            owner only (no access for others).

       break
            Exits the innermost if, case, or while block.

       case expr1 [ ((match expr [,expr ...]) | default) commands ] ... endcase
            Evaluates  expr1.   Then,  each  of the match expressions is evaluated in order.  The
            first time an expression matches expr1,  then  the  body  of  commands  under  it  is
            executed,  and  the  rest  of  the  case statement is skipped.  This compare is case-
            insensitive.  default always matches, so it should always appear as the last  set  of
            commands.  See the default description file for an example of use.

       clearbuf
            Clears the output buffer (see below for details on buffering).

       closeinput expr
            Closes the file associated with expr.

       closeoutput expr
            Sends  an EOF (end-of-file) to the process if expr was a port created by execport, or
            closes the file if it was created by outputport or appendport.

       closeport expr
            Closes both input and output of expr as defined above.

       fields variable1 ...
            sets the list of variables to be equal to the fields in the  notice.   If  there  are
            more variables than fields, the extra variables are left empty.

       exec exprlist
            Executes  a  program  without  any  input  or output.  A command named by exprlist is
            executed.  Each expression  is  used  as  an  argument  to  the  program;  the  first
            expression  names  the  program  (it may be either an absolute pathname, or a program
            name; the user's PATH is searched to find simple program names).

       execport expr1 exprlist
            Creates a port called expr1.  A command named by exprlist is executed,  as  described
            above for exec.  All output to the port is sent to the standard input of the process.
            Reading from the port will return the standard output of the process.

       exit Completes processing of the current notice.  The remainder of the description file is
            ignored after execution of this command.

       if expr1 then commands1 [elseif expr2 then commands2] ... [else commandsn] endif
            If expr1 evaluates to true, execute commands1, etc. [A conditional construct, similar
            to the constructs in the C shell (csh).]

       inputport expr1 expr2
            Creates a port called expr1.  All input from the port  comes  from  the  file  expr2.
            There is no output.

       noop does nothing

       outputport expr1 expr2
            Creates a port called expr1.  The file expr2 will be truncated, or created if it does
            not exist.  All output to the port will be appended to the file expr2.  There  is  no
            input.   If the file is created, its mode is set to read-write, owner only (no access
            for others).

       print expr1 ...
            adds the values of the expressions to the current output buffer.  The values  of  the
            expressions are separated by spaces in the output.

       put [expr [exprlist]]
            Sends  data  to  a port.  If expr is provided, then it is used as the port, otherwise
            the port used is the port corresponding to the default output device.  If exprlist is
            provided,  the expressions in the list are sent to the port, separated by spaces.  If
            it is omitted, then the contents of the output buffer are sent as the data.

       set variable = expr
            sets variable equal to expr.  Variable can later be referenced by $variable.

       show text endshow
            Appends text to the output buffer.  This command is special, because the string  does
            not  need  to  be quoted.  Whitespace at the beginning or end of the lines of text is
            ignored.  The endshow must appear as the first token  on  a  line  (it  may  only  be
            preceded on that line by whitespace).  Variable substitutions and formatting commands
            (but not expressions or functions) are processed in the text.  Example:
            show
               this is some text
               from: $sender
            endshow

       while expr do statements endwhile
            Executes statements until expr is false.

PORTS

       Ports are an abstraction encompassing all I/O forms of which zwgc is capable.   There  are
       pre-existing  output ports corresponding to each of the output devices, and more ports can
       be created with the port commands described above.

OUTPUT

       The output is usually collected in the output buffer and saved until a put  command  sends
       the output to an output device (such as an X display or a terminal).  The output buffer is
       implicitly cleared after each notice is completely processed.

       Output devices are implemented as output ports.  A  message  is  displayed  in  a  device-
       dependent  manner  when a string is output to the port corresponding to the output device.
       Formatting commands are embedded in the text as @ commands  of  the  form  @command(text).
       Command names are case-insensitive and consist of alphanumeric characters and underscores.
       Valid brackets are () [] {} and <>.  If the command name is empty (such as in ``@(foo)''),
       then  a  new  environment with no changes is created (This is useful to temporarily change
       some parameter of the output, such as the font).

       The following output devices are supported:

       stdout
            Sends the string to standard output exactly as is.

       stderr
            Sends the string to standard error exactly as is.

       plain
            Sends the string with all formatting environments removed to standard output.

       tty  Does formatting on the message according to @ commands embedded  in  the  text.   The
            output,  with  appropriate  mode-changing  sequences, is sent to the standard output.
            The appropriate characteristics of the display are taken from the TERMCAP entry  (see
            termcap(5))  for  the  terminal  named by the TERM environment variable.  Supported @
            commands are:

                 @roman         Roman (plain) letters (turns off all special modes).

                 @b or @bold    Bold letters.  If not available, reverse video, else underline.

                 @i or @italic  Italic letters (underlining, if available).

                 @beep          "bl" termcap entry, else "^G" (beep  the  terminal);  limited  to
                                once per message.

                 @l or @left    left aligned

                 @c or @center  center aligned

                 @r or @right   right aligned

            Other @-commands are silently ignored.

       X    Displays one window per string output to the port.  The output is formatted according
            to @ commands embedded in the string.  Supported @ commands are:

                 @roman         turns off @italic and @bold

                 @b or @bold    turns on boldface

                 @i or @italic  turns on italics

                 @l or @left    left aligned

                 @c or @center  center aligned

                 @r or @right   right aligned

                 @large         large type size

                 @medium        medium type size

                 @small         small type size

                 @beep          Ring the X bell (limited to once per message)

                 @font          sets the current font to the font specified in  the  contents  of
                                the  environment (e.g. @font(fixed)).  This will remain in effect
                                for the rest of  the  environment  (a  temporary  change  can  be
                                achieved  by enclosing the font-change in an @(...) environment).
                                If the named font is not available, the font  ``fixed''  is  used
                                instead.

                 @color         sets  the  color  to  the  color specified in the contents of the
                                environment.  The color name should appear in the  X  color  name
                                database.   This  color will remain in effect for the rest of the
                                environment.  If the named color is not  available,  the  default
                                foreground color is used.

            Any  other environment name not corresponding to the above environment names will set
            the current ``substyle.''

            The attributes of a given block of text are determined by  any  active  environments,
            evaluated in the context of the current style and substyle.

            The  style  is  specific  to  each  window.  Its name has three dot (``.'') separated
            fields, which are by default  the  values  of  the  class,  instance,  and  recipient
            variables,  with all dots changed to underscores (``_'') and all letters converted to
            lowercase.  The style can be altered by setting the style  variable.   Note  that  it
            must always have exactly two ``.''  characters in it.

            The substyle is determined by @ commands in the message text.

            Zwgc variables which the X output device reads are:

                 default_X_geometry
                                default geometry for notices, set from resources

                 X_geometry     overrides geometry in resource file, if set

                 default_X_background
                                default background color for notices, set from resources

                 X_background   overrides bgcolor in resource file, if set

                 style          style, as described above

            The expected geometry values are described below.

            The fonts and color for a piece of text are determined by the styles defined in the X
            resources file.  The following resources relating to text style are used by zwgc:

                 zwgc.style.stylenames.geometry
                           geometry for messages of the specified style

                 zwgc.style.stylenames.background
                           background color for messages of the specified style

                 zwgc.style.stylenames.substyle.substylename.fontfamily
                           fontfamily name for the specified style and substyle

                 zwgc.style.stylenames.substyle.substylename.foreground
                           foreground color for the specified style and substyle

                 zwgc.fontfamily.fontfamilyname.size.face
                           specifies the fonts for a given fontfamily.  size  is  one  of  small,
                           medium,  or  large,  and  face  is  one  of  roman,  bold,  italic, or
                           bolditalic.

            The best way to get started in customizing X resources for zwgc  is  to  examine  the
            default  application  resources  and  other  users'  resources to understand how they
            specify the default appearance.

X RESOURCES

       Other X resources used by zwgc are listed below.  Entries like

            zwgc*option: value
            Zwgc*option: value
            zwgc.option: value
            *option: value
            .option: value

       will work.

       An entry labeled with zwgc*option in any of the sources takes precedence over Zwgc*option,
       which takes precedence over *option entries.  The following sources are searched in order:
            command-line arguments (-xrm)
            contents of file named by XENVIRONMENT environment variable
            X server resource database (see xrdb(1))
            application resources file

       Logical values can be ( Yes On True T ) or ( No Off False nil ).

       OPTION:        MEANING [default]:

       cursorCode     number  of  a  code  from  the  cursorfont  (should be an even integer, see
                      <X11/cursorfont.h>) to use for the windows.

       foreground     Primary foreground color

       Foreground     Secondary foreground color (if  foreground  not  set)  [BlackPixel  is  the
                      default if neither is set]

       background     Primary background color

       Background     Secondary  background  color  (if  background  not  set) [WhitePixel is the
                      default if neither is set]

       borderColor    Primary border color

       BorderColor    Secondary border color (if borderColor not set) [BlackPixel is the  default
                      if neither is set]

       pointerColor   Primary mouse pointer color [foreground color is the default if not set]

       reverseVideo   (logical)  Toggles  foreground  and  background  (and border, if it matches
                      foreground or background).

       ReverseVideo   Secondary toggle, if reverseVideo is  not  set.  [off  is  the  default  if
                      neither is set]

       borderWidth    Primary border width selector

       BorderWidth    Secondary  border  width  selector  (if  borderWidth  is not set) [1 is the
                      default value if neither is set]

       internalBorder Primary border between edge and text

       InternalBorder Secondary selector (if internalBorder not set) [2 is the default  value  if
                      neither is set]

       geometry       Primary  POSITION (not size) geometry specifier.  The geometry should be of
                      the form "{+|-}x{+|-}y", specifying an (x,y) coordinate for a corner of the
                      window  displaying the notice.  The interpretation of positive and negative
                      location specifications follows the X conventions.  A special  location  of
                      `c'  for  either  x or y indicates that the window should be centered along
                      that axis.  Example: a geometry of "+0+c" specifies the window should be at
                      the top of the screen, centered horizontally.

       Geometry       Secondary position specifer. [+0+0 is the default if neither is set.]

       resetSaver     (logical)  Primary  value  to  force  screen to unsave when a message first
                      appears.

       ResetSaver     (logical) Secondary value to force screen to unsave. [default True]

       reverseStack   (logical) Primary value to  specify  that  zwgc  should  attempt  to  stack
                      WindowGram  windows  such  that  the  oldest messages normally show on top.
                      Some X window managers may silently ignore zwgc's attempts to  restack  its
                      windows.   This  option  can  cause  some  unusual  interactions with other
                      windows if the user manually restacks  either  the  other  windows  or  the
                      WindowGram windows.

       ReverseStack   Secondary value to enable reverse stacking. [default False]

       title          (string) Primary window title

       Title          Secondary  window  title  [defaults  to  the last pathname component of the
                      program name, usually "zwgc"]

       transient      (logical) Primary value which determines  if  zephyrgram  windows  will  be
                      created  with the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property set.  If this resource is true,
                      the  property  will  be  set,  telling  certain  windowmanagers  to   treat
                      zephyrgram  windows  specially.  For instance, twm will not put decorations
                      on transient windows, mwm will not let you iconify them,  and  uwm  ignores
                      the resource entirely.

       Transient      Secondary transient determining value [default False]

       allDesktops    (logical)  Primary  value  which  determines  if  zephyrgram windows should
                      appear on all desktops, for those window managers  which  support  multiple
                      desktops (sometimes referred to as workspaces).  When this resource is true
                      (the default), zwgc sets the _NET_WM_DESKTOP  property  to  0xFFFFFFFF  for
                      each zephyrgram window, indicating that it should appear on all desktops.

       AllDesktops    Secondary value determining whether zephyrgram windows should appear on all
                      desktops.

       scrollDelete   (logical) If true, scrolling over a zgram will cause it to be deleted

       ScrollDelete   Secondary value to enable deletion of a zgram by scrolling over it [default
                      False]

       enableDelete   (logical) If true, zwgc creates a WM_PROTOCOLS property on all zgrams, with
                      WM_DELETE_WINDOW as contents.

       EnableDelete   Secondary value to enable  WM_DELETE_WINDOW  protocol  on  zgrams  [default
                      False]

       minTimeToLive  Primary value which specifies the minimum amount of time (``minimum time to
                      live'') a WindowGram must be on-screen (in milliseconds) until  it  can  be
                      destroyed.   This  feature  is useful to avoid accidentally clicking on new
                      WindowGrams when trying to delete old ones.

       MinTimeToLive  Secondary value of ``minimum time to live.''

       iconName       (string) Primary icon name

       IconName       Secondary icon name [defaults to the last pathname component of the program
                      name, usually "zwgc"]

       name           (string) Primary window class name

       name           Secondary window class name [defaults to the last pathname component of the
                      program name, usually "zwgc"]

       synchronous    (logical) Primary X synchronous mode specifier.  On  means  to  put  the  X
                      library into synchronous mode.

       Synchronous    Secondary X synchronous mode specifier.  [default is `off']

       The window class is always "Zwgc".

X BUTTONS

       Clicking  and  releasing  any  button  without  the  shift key depressed while the pointer
       remains inside a WindowGram window will cause it to disappear. If the pointer  leaves  the
       window  while  the button is depressed, the window does not disappear; this provides a way
       to avoid accidentally losing messages.

       If the control button is held down while clicking on a WindowGram,  then  that  WindowGram
       and all windowgrams under the point where the button is released will be erased.

       WARNING: If you do this with too many WindowGrams under the mouse, it is possible for your
       subscriptions to be lost.  If zctl retrieve  returns  nothing,  then  issue  a  zctl  load
       command  to re-subscribe to your default set of subscriptions.  If you use znol, then znol
       -q & will restore the subscriptions you need for znol.

       Portions of the text of a message may be selected for "pasting" into other X  applications
       by  using  the  shift  key in cooperation with the pointer buttons.  Holding the Shift key
       while depressing Button1 (usually the left button) will set a marker at the text under the
       pointer.   Dragging  the  pointer with Shift-Button1 still depressed extends the selection
       from the start point, until the button is released.  The end of the selection may also  be
       indicated  by releasing Button1, holding down the Shift key, and pressing Button3 (usually
       the right button) at the desired endpoint of the selection.   The  selection  will  appear
       with the text and background colors reversed.

ADDITIONAL X FEATURES

       If zwgc receives a WM_DELETE_WINDOW, it destroys the zephyrgram as if it were clicked on.

       If a zephyrgram is unmapped, it is removed from the stacking order used by reverseStack.

COMMAND LINE

       zwgc  is normally invoked from $HOME/.xsession in the foreground. When it has successfully
       set your location and obtained subscriptions, it  will  put  itself  into  the  background
       (unless  the  -nofork  option  has  been  specified).  At  this point it is safe to invoke
       additional zephyr commands, such as znol(1).  (You can also  put  these  commands  in  the
       initprogs  Zephyr  variable;  the  value of this variable is passed as the argument to the
       system(3) library call during initialization.)  zwgc will exit with an exit status of 0 if
       it  was  able  to open the X display successfully or 1 if it couldn't open the display and
       the Zephyr variable fallback was set to ``false''. If fallback is set  to  ``true'',  zwgc
       will  fall  back  to  ``ttymode''  (making the tty driver the default output device) if it
       can't open the X display.  If fallback is not set and the display cannot be  opened,  zwgc
       prints an explanatory message and exits with a status of 1.

       If  the  -ttymode option is specified, zwgc will ignore any X display and use the terminal
       as its primary output device.  This flag overrides any setting of the fallback variable.

       If the -loc option is specified, zwgc will use the specified string as the tty  field  for
       the  location  it  sets.   This  allows users to potentially specify more useful auxiliary
       information than their ttys or display names.

       The -reenter option is provided for compatibility with the previous version of zwgc.

       zwgc will exit cleanly (unset location and cancel subscriptions) on:
            SIGTERM
            SIGHUP
            XIOError (with a message to stderr)
       SIGHUP is what it expects to get upon logout.  Also,  the  signals  SIGINT,  SIGQUIT,  and
       SIGTSTP  are  ignored because they can be sent inadvertently, and bizarre side-effects can
       result.  If you want them to be acted on, then run zwgc -nofork &

       If zwgc receives a SIGUSR1, it will rewrite the file used to  store  the  WindowGram  port
       number ($WGFILE or /tmp/wg.uid), in the event that the file has been lost.

CONTROL MESSAGES

       In  order  to  allow  some special user controls over the behavior of zwgc, certain Zephyr
       control notices can be  sent  directly  to  zwgc  using  the  zctl(1)  program.  Currently
       implemented controls are

       wg_read        tell zwgc to re-read the current description file.

       wg_shutdown    tell  zwgc to cancel all subscriptions and stop acting on incoming notices.
                      zwgc saves the subscriptions that  were  in  effect  at  the  time  of  the
                      shutdown so that it can restore them later if needed.

       wg_startup     tell   zwgc  to  restart  from  being  shutdown  and  reinstall  the  saved
                      subscriptions.

       Other control messages may be implemented in the future.

       resources, see /etc/zephyr/zwgc_resources.

BUGS

       The  X  selection  code  can highlight the wrong portions of messages containing formatted
       text placed with the @center() or @right() directives.

       If you are using Kerberos support and get new tickets (using ``kinit''), you must  send  a
       subscription notice to the server (using a command such as ``zctl load /dev/null'') or all
       received Zephyr notices will appear to be unauthentic.  (If all  received  Zephyr  notices
       appear  to  be  forged, your tickets have probably expired, in which case you must get new
       tickets and then run ``zctl load /dev/null''.)
