Hi,

I think there might be a typo in the manpage for zwrite.  It says:

     -n          prevents zwrite from sending a PING  message  to
                 verify the recipient is subscribing to messages.
                 By default, zwrite will send  a  notice  to  the
                 destination class, instance, and recipient, with
                 opcode ``PING'' before sending the message.   If
                 the  PING is sent, and the server response indi-
                 cates there are no recipients subscribed to your
                 message, zwrite exits without sending a message.
                 When the -m option is used, no PING is sent.
                          ^^

Seem like that should be "-n" since the -m flag does something apparently
unrelated.
