   Probably true.  I would suggest punting the relevant changes to both
   zwgc.desc and zwrite.  (But keep the $fromhost stuff in zwgc.desc, and
   the number_of_fields fix to zwrite.)  Shall I put together new versions?

Yes, please provide us with a fixed version of zwrite that defaults to
PRETTY, or that doesn't deal with PRETTY at all, and a fixed zwgc.desc
that doesn't care about PRETTY.
