What were you trying to do?
I got a zwrite with what was apparently garbage in it. I
checked, and it was a tab character.
What's wrong:
On a 7.5 RS/6000 zwrite -t $USER with a message with a tab in
it will print garbage in place of the tab.
What should have happened:
zwgc should have... hmm... on other platforms it ignores the
tab character, apparently. so this should do the same.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
the zwrite manpage includes info on the -t option. Someone
actually sent the message with the tab using xzwrite.
