User interface change:
* zwgc no longer beeps and prints a long message when it can't open an
X display and fallback isn't set. Instead, it prints
zwgc: Unable to open X display -- disabling X driver.
zwgc: To receive Zephyrgrams, (type `/usr/athena/bin/zwgc -ttymode').
* Unauthenic personal zephyrgrams are placed in the lower right hand
corner above where the xlogout button would be, and have
"UNAUTHENTIC" in a large, bold font.
* zlocate now has 2 more options: -p and -1. The first does the
zlocates in parallel (this helps when locating between 5 and 45
users), the second selects an alternate output format.
Programmer interface changes:
* Finished renaming fields of subscriptions structure.
* Next step in adding 3rd arg to ZLocateUser() (Last release
ZNewLocateUser took 3 args and ZLocateUser took 2. Now ZLocateUser
takes 3 args. For this release ZNewLocateUser is #define-ed to be
ZLocateUser. Removing this define is the last step in conversion.)
* Add functions ZRequestLocations and ZParseLocations. These send a
location request and parse a reply to a location request, so a
client can continue working while waiting for the server to reply.
Other changes:
zwgc installs in /usr/athena/bin, on VAX and RT a link is installed
in /usr/etc.
POSIX, AUX, and AIX 3.1 are supported.
X11R5 is supported.
