  Also, why isn't "pretty" documented anywhere in the zwrite man page
or the zwgc man page?  Sure, zwrite's man mentions pretty once, but it
doesn't mention what it *does*.  Zwgc's man page doesn't mention it at
all.

  I'm sorry, but if we're going to make *severe* user interface
changes in a release, then we should at least make sure that our
documentation reflects the changes.

  By the way, I hate to be caustic, but I've had just about enough
bogus zephyr changes in this release.  If I don't see some action
on the screw-ups with the zwgc sources, and some explanations and
possibly improved documentation about this "pretty" thing, I'm going
to recommend falling back on the 6.4R sources for this release.
