Barry, xzwrite is really hosed.  Everything works fine, until
you press (either) the middle or right button on the xzwrite icon.
Then all h*ll breaks loose.  More specifically, the mouse gets
hysterical up the wazoo, does not stay still, and typing is impossible,
even when the cursor is positioned over and xterm.  The behaviour of
the mouse is as if the buttons were being clicked and released as fast
as possible.

I ran xzwrite off demi.mit.edu, running aix 1.2.
