Hi,

I'd like to suggest that xzewd be kept in lockers like potluck, rather than
being made a part of an Athena release.  Its documentation is shaky at best
and for a zephyr program can be a tremendous resource (and colormap) hog.
It is written and supported by _one_ person, eddietwo@mit.edu.  Except for
a nice "xznol"-like interface (which is also not part of any Athena
release), it does not seem to increase productivity, or to promote
productive use of Athena workstations at all.  

Yours,
